| 摘要： | On October 20, 2006, a 28-year-old laborer (the victim) was killed when he was backed over by a TAC truck while working as a flagger on an asphalt resurfacing job in a residential roadway work zone. The victim was standing with his back to the reversing TAC truck when a dump truck driver attempted to warn him by waving his arms. The TAC truck struck the victim; the driver thought he had passed over a manhole cover and continued backing. Seeing the dump truck driver running and waving his arms in his mirror, the TAC truck driver stopped. At the front of the TAC truck both drivers found the victim lying face down on a manhole cover on the ground. A laborer ran and notified a flagger who then called 911. Approximately 4 minutes later, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and the police arrived on the scene. EMS determined that the victim was not breathing and pronounced him dead on the scene. A coroner arrived on the scene and at approximately 2:21 p.m., the victim was transported to the morgue. NIOSH investigators concluded that, to help prevent similar occurrences, employers should: (1) Ensure that backing procedures are in place for mobile construction vehicles, a spotter is designated to direct backing, and drivers are in communication with workers on foot; (2) Provide workers with safety training for the duties they are assigned to perform, and develop/implement specific training on equipment blind areas for roadway construction workers; (3) Develop, implement and enforce procedures that minimize exposure of workers on foot to moving construction vehicles and equipment; (4) Consider installing after market devices (i.e., camera, radar, and sonar) on construction vehicles and equipment to help monitor the presence of workers on foot in blind areas. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
