A belt-loading baggage conveyor vehicle was being manoeuvred to the forward hold of the
Boeing 757 to enable one of the loading staff to alight from the aircraft when the driver's foot slipped
off the brake pedal and onto the accelerator. This caused the safety rail of the conveyor to strike the
door frame of the aircraft resulting in slight damage but no injuries to personnel. Subsequent
investigation revealed that there was oil on the floor and brake pedal of the conveyor vehicle and on the driver's shoes. The oil was traced to contamination of the tarmac area where the driver had been
walking. The operator is pursuing the matter of the contamination of the tarmac area with the airport
authority.
