Abstract: At approximately 10:00 a.m. on November 5, 1999, Employee #1 was using a Hartl minitrack concrete crusher, model 503 PCV/BBV, to break up pieces of reinforced concrete when he discovered that some rebar had become entangled inside it. He stopped the machine and with the help of two coworkers removed the rebar. One coworker then returned to his loader. The other coworker, an excavator operator, helped Employee #1 restart the crusher motor and operate switches to engage the hatch cover and conveyor before returning to his machine. Some time later, the excavator operator saw a glove tossed into the air from an area inside the crusher and heard a call for help. He ran to the machine and found Employee #1 caught between the impact rollers and the curtain, with his legs pinned between the rollers. He shut off the motor to the crusher and called to the loader operator for assistance. Together, they freed Employee #1 and the loader operator called EMS. He was transported to Tift County Hospital, where he later died as a result of his injuries.
