Driver fatally crushed between two trailers

What happened?

While one of the low bed trailers was parked for loading, another flatbed trailer (loaded with tubing) came from behind and parked adjacent (right side) to the low bed trailer.

The driver of the flatbed trailer exited his vehicle, when the low bed trailer suddenly moved and the flatbed driver was crushed between the two trailers.

The driver was taken to hospital and after examination by the doctor, the employee was declared dead.

Why did it happen?

The low bed trailer driver did not check the right-side mirrors while steering his vehicle to the right, though the trailer was equipped with three types of mirrors giving full view of the right side of the trailer cabin.

The flatbed trailer driver positioned himself between the trailer, in the line of fire.

The flatbed trailer parked very close to the low bed trailer.

What did they learn?

Ensure the presence of a signalman with a high visibility vest for safe/effective traffic management during pre-rig moves.

Ensure that sub-contractor employees are provided with required health, safety, and environment trainings/awareness sessions as per procedure.

Safety instructions to drivers must be displayed inside their vehicles.
