Abstract: On February 13, 2006, Employee #1, an equipment operator, was operating a Rammax single drum soil compaction roller, Model Number P48K, along an embankment. The embankment had a slope of approximately 27 degrees with its angle of the slope increasing from west to east. Employee #1 was driving the roller perpendicular to the incline on the north side of the road base that was along the embankment. The roller overturned, causing Employee #1, who was not wearing a seat belt, to be thrown from the vehicle. The rollover protective structure landed on Employee #1, crushing and killing him. There were not witnesses; however, Employee #1 was found lying face down, pinned between the rollover protective structure and the ground.
