Abstract: At approximately 9:00 a.m. on August 14, 2002, Employee #1 was cleaning grade flags, which was covered with soil after a road grader made a pass to prepare for a concrete slab. The concrete slab was to be installed as the base for a new retail store. While Employee #1 was working, the grader operator reversed to push a load of gravel into a low spot and backed over Employee #1. A loader operator, who was approximately 50 ft away, saw Employee #1 underneath the rear wheel of the grader. Immediately, he used the horn to signal the grader operator. Employee #1 was pronounced dead at the scene.
