Abstract: At approximately 2:00 p.m. on March 19, 2016, Employee #1 was troubleshooting a hydraulic leak on a CAT D6K LGP dozer. He was going to insert timbers underneath the rear of the tracks to increase the ground clearance. Employee #1 was standing at the rear of the CAT D6K LGP dozer. Employee #2 was at the controls of a CAT 325DL tracked excavator. He was going to lift the rear of the CAT D6K LGP dozer with a wire rope sling and the CAT 325DL tracked excavator's bucket. As Employee #2 was opening the front window of the CAT 325DL tracked excavator, his coat pocket or sleeve actuated the left joystick controller moving the stick forward until it crushed Employee #1 between the bucket and the rear of the CAT D6K LGP dozer. Employee #1 received crushing injuries to the head and upper body and was killed.
