Abstract: On June 18, 2011, Employee #1 was installing "mechanical stabilized earth" concrete panels. He and other workers were manually stabilizing these panels while a JLG G 41-6 telehandler transported them into position on the jobsite. He was killed when caught between the tires of the telehandler and run over. The employer used an improvised choker-double-leg, wire rope sling assembly to stabilize the load rather than the tag lines or tethers recommended by the manufacturer. Employees were not properly trained to perform this operation.
