Abstract: At approximately 8:55 a.m. on March 23, 2007, Employee #1 and some coworkers were pouring the A-type curb utilizing a "KURBER Model Number 5000" machine at the south side of parking lot Number 3. Employee #1 was pushing down wet concrete mix with a shovel from the chute of a ready-concrete mix-truck into the machine hopper. Employee #1 was standing on the top right section of the open hopper. The hopper rear edge was 30.375-in. above the ground. As Employee #1 was pushing the concrete mix, the truck moved forward.
