NAICS industry code: 561311

Three employees were manually opening a loading dock door from inside a warehouse. The electrical/mechanical controls of the door were not functional, and the three employees were pushing up the bottom-most segment of the door. The weight of the rest of the door caused the pushed section to pop out of the track rails, and all the other above segments collapsed on top of the three employees. The injured employee suffered a fractured hip and a strained and bruised neck, resulting in hospitalization.
