Abstract: On June 9, 2004, Employee #1 was operating a paving machine to pave an area in front of two aircraft hangers. As he attempted to maneuver around and assist coworkers fill an area that the screed portion of the paver could not get into, he climbed around the end of the screed and got his shirt caught on an exposed switch that controls the extension and retraction of the screed. The screed extended and pinned him against the end of the dividing wall, between the two hanger doors. Employee #1 was transported a hospital and treated for bruises to the lower abdomen.
