Abstract: Employee #1, the owner of a fence company, was operating a truck-mounted auger to dig a post hole for a fence gate. The area had been previously landscaped, and when the auger began rotating, the fabric used as a weed barrier under the mulch began to wrap around the auger. Employee #1 was standing in the landscaped area and was pulled into the auger, along with the landscape fabric. Both of his legs were amputated, and he was pronounced dead at the site.
