    Report summary

    Shaun Carter died after jumping from a dumper truck that went over the edge of a spoil heap at a construction site; he was struck by the truck and suffered catastrophic injuries. The principal concerns were that safety procedures for dumper trucks were not consistently followed, communicated or audited, that there was no process or industry guidance for safely managing spoil heaps, and that drivers may naturally jump from trucks despite instructions to remain seated.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Dumper truck drivers jumping from trucks during incidents

    Wider context from the report

    “3. Dumper trucks are designed to ensure that drivers are protected, even if the dumper trucks topple over. However the inherent open nature of trucks can nonetheless make the driver feeling vulnerable and despite the instructions which require the driver to remain seated during an incident, statistics indicate (as in this case) that the natural reaction of drivers is to jump from the truck. ”
