Abstract: At approximately 2:45 p.m. on March 9, 2000, Employee #1, a spotter at a construction site dump, had just directed a truck on where to drop its load. When completed, he issued the driver a ticket and the truck drove away as another one approached. At the same time, a bulldozer at a higher elevation began backing down small hills of sandy soil to the ground level where Employee #1 was standing. The operator was looking over his right shoulder while backing to the left, toward Employee #1. He evidently took several steps backward as the dump truck was pulling away, probably to be certain he was out of the way of the departing and arriving vehicles. A coworker later stated that Employee #1 then looked over his right shoulder and became aware of the proximity of the bulldozer heading in his direction. He lunged forward trying to escape the path of the bulldozer, but his right foot had already become caught under the left track. Employee #1 was run over and killed.
