Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14400667

Event: 09/12/1985

Employee killed when crushed by backing scraper

At about 7:10 a.m., Employee #1, a grade checker, was directing scrapers where to dump their loads when a Caterpillar scraper dumped its load and then drove straight past him. The operator found his way blocked and began to back up. Due to the high levels of machine noise and the scraper lacking a back-up alarm, the grade checker could not hear the scraper or the warning yells from another operator. Employee #1 was struck by the backing scraper and killed. The other scraper operators had been circling around rather than driving straight ahead after dumping their loads.
