Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was alone in a poultry by-product shed operating a Clark Bobcat loader, 843, serial #5026-M-20001, to fill a dumping hopper. A screw conveyor that conveyed the by-product to the feed mill was at the bottom of the hopper. The hopper was about 50 in. high by 4 ft wide by 157 in. long. The overhead clearance was about 25 ft. The travel distance between the dumping hopper and the by-product stack pile was about 20 to 25 ft. The Bobcat was observed unmanned, with the bucket within inches of the hopper and running full throttle. After a search of the area, Employee #1 was found under the Bobcat's lowered, loaded bucket. He was killed.
