Abstract: Employee #1 was attempting to remove a rubber flap from compacted garbage in the trailer of a tractor trailer rig. The garbage had been previously loaded and packed using a front end loader with removable attachments. Employee #1 could not remove the flap by hand, so he pulled a front end loader in front of and above the flap and attempted to hook a chain between the flap and bucket of the front end loader. When he realized the chain wouldn't reach, Employee #1 instructed the tractor driver to lower the bucket. The driver lowered the bucket, which came off its frame, striking Employee #1 in the head and knocking his head into the frame of the trailer. The coroner determined that Employee #1 died on impact from cerebral trauma. The front end loader was a Caterpillar 936F, with a Balderson bucket, model B 36-570, using a quick coupler system installed by Blanchard Machinery Company.
