Abstract: At approximately 3:00 p.m. on April 19, 1994, Employee #1 was attempting to start a Caterpillar D-7. To start the Cat, Employee #1 was required to stand on the left track and start a gasoline engine which, in turn, would start the Cat's diesel engine. The Cat had been left in gear and, when the gasoline engine started, it moved backward, causing Employee #1 to fall onto the moving track. He was caught between the track and the fenderwell. Employee #1 was transported by paramedics to UCD Medical Center in Sacramento, where he was admitted with a fractured pelvis.
