Investigation Summary
Employee #1 climbed into the hopper on the rear of a 10-wheel stake body truck that was used to transport concrete from a mixing tower to the forms in the yard. The hoppers have slanted sides to allow concrete to flow into an auger. Employee #1 climbed into the hopper to scrape down the sides so concrete would flow more freely into the auger. The signal man saw Employee #1 go into the hopper and signaled the driver, but not before the driver turned the auger on briefly. Employee #1's foot was caught in the auger; it was lacerated and every bone was broken.
