3. Module 2: Working Out of Process
Case Study
Joe is a truck driver who is backing into a loading dock bay
Policy calls for a qualified flagman to direct the driver back into the loading dock
The usual flagman isn’t around and Joe is in a hurry, so he starts to pull into the dock

4. Bad Choices - Bad Outcomes
Jeremy hears the truck
He rushes out to guide Joe
Being in a hurry to help, as he just returned from lunch, he forgets to put on his high visibility clothing…
Joe doesn’t see Jeremy and his truck strikes him causing death

5. Assessment Which poor choice(s) caused Jeremy’s death?
A) Joe’s choice not to follow proper procedure
B) Jeremy’s decision to not wear his high visibility vest
C) The facility manager’s decision not to install mirrors that provide proper and full visibility of the loading dock
D) A combination of Joe’s and Jeremy’s decisions

6. Let’s Review
There were many poor choices made in this case, but which lead to lethal results?

7. Best Choice Should he have left the vest on when on his lunch break?
B) Jeremy’s decision not to wear his high visibility vest
Jeremy didn’t DECIDE not to wear his vest, he simply forgot
Should he have left the vest on when on his lunch break?
Jeremy didn’t DECIDE or REFUSE to wear the vest,
he just forgot
Should he have left the vest on when on his lunch break?
(since he was still in the warehouse) but this wasn’t common practices, and again, Jeremy didn’t DECIDE or REFUSE to wear the vest, he just forgot.
It was a human error that contributed to his death

8. Second Best
C) The facility manager’s decision not to install mirrors that provide proper and full visibility of the loading dock

9. Getting Worse D) A combination of Joe’s and Jeremy’s decisions
Jeremy didn’t really make a choice, he committed a human error, that was beyond his control

10. Now He’s Acting Like a Derk
Joe’s choice not to follow proper procedure
Joe knew his behavior was risky and being in a hurry is a pretty poor excuse
Bad choice lead to a deadly consequence
Don’t Be a Derk, Be Safe
