Abstract: March 27, 2011, Employee #1, a 49-year-old male with Abc Coke-Division of Drummond Company, was loading the Larry car with coal from the number four hopper so they could charge the coke ovens. The chute for the number four hopper would not open so Employee #1, who was also training a coworker, instructed the trainee to go to the operator's cab and move the Larry car forward. Employee #1 stood on the work platform of the Larry car so Employee #1 could make an adjustment on the number four hopper so the chute would open. While the car was moving forward, Employee #1 got caught between the number four hopper and the car. Employee #1 suffered a crushing injury to his chest, which resulted in his death.
