    Report summary

    On 30 November 2021, David Alan Lyth became trapped between two HGV trailers while coupling a new trailer, and his death was confirmed at hospital. The inquest concluded that he died from asphyxia after the trailers rolled away. The principal concern was the provision of regular and periodic training for all drivers on coupling and uncoupling procedures, following evidence of four rollaway incidents involving drivers at 3D Trans Ltd since 2020.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of regular and periodic training for all drivers in coupling and uncoupling procedures

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) I received evidence that since 2020, there have been four rollaway incidents involving drivers working for 3D Trans Ltd:- a. An incident causing damage to a fence between the 17th September 2020 and the 9th October 2020; b. An incident leading to the death of Mr Lyth on the 30th November 2021; c. An incident on the 15th November 2022; d. An incident on the 12th June 2023. I acknowledge that these incidents involve different circumstances and that only one resulted in a fatality. (2) I received evidence that following each of the incidents, refresher training was provided and various measures were put in place at the yard to physically prevent the vehicles or trailers rolling away. In addition to this, signage has been placed on the tractor and trailer units to serve as a reminder to drivers of the importance of securing the parking brakes on the tractor and trailer units. I have concerns regarding the provision of regular and periodic training for all drivers in respect of coupling and uncoupling procedures. ”
