    Report summary

    Anthony William Rockall died at John Radcliffe Hospital on 26 April 2022 from a head injury sustained when he fell from the tailgate of a truck during unloading at a reclamation yard. The pallet truck was longer than the tailgate, and concerns were raised about the unloading method, the weight on the tailgate, and the absence of subsequent reviews or changes to working practices, leaving risks of loads, equipment or individuals falling from the tailgate.

    Source evidence

    How this individual concern was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to Recipient name withheld; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to assess equipment suitability for the task

    Wider context from the report

    “It was clear from the evidence that the pallet truck being utilised and the manner of unloading were incompatible with the truck being unloaded in that the pallet truck was longer than the tailgate of the truck and the method adopted required the pallet truck wheels to drop off the tailgate, grounding the load. There were also concerns expressed about the weight of the load, pallet truck and two individuals on the tailgate. Buckinghamshire Council evidence indicated a letter had been written to you on 27th September 2022 but your evidence was that this had never been received. The letter was described as informing you that you must review health and safety procedures at your premises, including the use of the pallet truck and the loading and unloading of client and casual workers’ vehicles. It was indicated you were also to assess the suitability of equipment for the task to be undertaken and to review who was permitted to use the equipment and when. Evidence at the Inquest was that there had been no review and no change of working practices since the incident involving Tony Rockall and that a pallet of bricks delivered on a truck such as was being used by Mr Rockall would be unloaded in exactly the same way now as then. It is clear that such practices could give rise to the toppling of a load, the pallet truck or an individual falling from a truck tailgate with the risk of fatal injuries arising. ”
