Hazard
In van-type vehicles, the mounting structure of the upper hinged door attached to the rear of the vehicle is inadequate. The plastic hinges at the door's upper edge degrade and fracture due to atmospheric ozone, ultraviolet exposure, and similar factors. When the door opens, it may detach and fall, potentially injuring workers.

Remedy
Install safety belts on both sides of the hinged door for all vehicles. Additionally, inspect the hinges and replace any hinges with visible cracks with new ones.
