INCIDENT DETAILS:
IP was parking a Water Truck adjacent to the Go‐Line at the EMA. In order to open the truck driver’s side door the IP
was required to push down on the cast alloy door handle. In carrying out this action the door handle has sheared off,
causing a deep cut between two fingers of the IP's right hand. The wound required 5 stitches.
During the investigation it was noticed that the passenger side door handle was also broken in the same manner and
condition as the drivers side door handle. As a result, the Truck was tagged 'Out of Service' pending replacement of
the truck or repairs to door fixtures.
