Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14373633

Event: 07/25/2000

Employee killed between conduit reel and bulldozer arm

Employee #1 and five coworkers were loading 2 to 9 ft in diameter conduit reels onto the deployment arms of a bulldozer. They had wrapped a chain around one reel and the excavator operator began lifting it when a second reel, which was standing on end next to the first, fell over. Employee #1 became pinned between the conduit reel and the deployment arms of the bulldozer, and was killed. All of the reels were standing on end and, because of space constraints, they were placed on the grade to the highway exit ramp. This meant they were sitting at an angle and leaning toward the employees.
