Flagger injured when struck by grader

Employee #1, who was a flagger, and a coworker were standing with an equipment operator and the chief flagger while the chief flagger gave the equipment operator directions on the next phase of the job. Employee #1 went back to his original position while the chief flagger continued his conversation with the operator for a few more minutes. Employee #1 then started to move out of the way of the equipment. The operator turned his wheel at a 90 degree angle and started to back up, not realizing that Employee #1 was still behind the wheel of the grader. Employee #1 was knocked over and thrown to the side of the road. He sustained neck, back, and knee injuries and was hospitalized.
