Abstract: Employee #1 was operating a Case loader, model 1845C, in the shop before driving outside and through a parking lot to a welding shop next door. He parked near the entrance to the welding shop, leaving the arms of loader in a raised position and the motor running. Employee #1 went inside, asked for a bolt, and then returned to the loader. He was standing between the raised crossbar of the arms and the body of the loader when he apparently tried to raise the arms higher. Instead, he lowered them, crushing his abdomen between the crossbar and the body of the loader. Employee #1 was killed.
