Abstract: On May 19, 2009, Employee #1 was operating a wheeled blower to push dust and gravel that had accumulated around a loading hopper as a dump truck driver positioned his truck near the hopper. The driver pulled forward about 50 ft and then began backing up. While the driver moved the vehicle toward the north end of the project to unload, he struck Employee #1 and killed him. Employee #1 was wearing earplugs due to the noise generated by the blower. The dump truck was equipped with a back up alarm. Light levels varied due to night time and position of work lights and loading platform.
