MTI - Back Injury Investigation Review of Incident Findings: Although the flat-bed has been used for 4 years and has a factory-fixed step to access the deck, taking a short-cut and jumping from the deck has potential to cause injury. Hazard was properly identified several months prior to the incident and a solution was engineered and submitted to a local vendor to fabricate guard rails. At the time of the incident, permanent guard rails and steps to prevent accidental or deliberate misuse of access points were in their final stage of manufacturing. Since the incident, modifications have been completed on the flat bed trucks. Additionally, other vehicles have been assessed for slip / trip / fall hazards.
