Abstract: At 7:30 a.m. on April 22, 2021, an employee attempted to perform repairs to a hydraulic hose on a front-end loader. The employee raised the bucket of the loader to access the hose, but did not use the safety mechanism (kickstand) to prevent the bucket from dropping if the loader lost hydraulic pressure. The employee began repairs when the bucket dropped due to a loss of hydraulic pressure and caught the employee's head between the bucket and the loader. The employee received crushing injuries to the skull and was killed.
