The paver rolled over, pinning the employee under it and fracturing his legs. Employee #1 had elected to perform the operation in this manner because the job was running behind schedule. A pan tamper was on site which should have been used for this operation. Employee #1 acted against company policy and was reprimanded by the employer.
