Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a laborer, was compacting soil in an approximately 2 1/2 ft deep by 3 ft wide trench that had been previously backfilled. The walk-behind compactor has its controls at the very top center of the machine. Employee #1's arm was located at the operating controls, and he was steering the compactor underneath a backhoe that was straddling the trench. As he guided the compactor under the backhoe, there was not enough room to clear the frame and Employee #1's arm became trapped between the two pieces of equipment. He suffered a crushing injury to his right arm; subsequent complications led to his death.
