Investigation Summary
At 1:38 p.m. on October 23, 2015, Employee #1 and a co-worker were working to release the locking mechanism that held the lift arm attachments of a Holland Skid Steer (model number: L555; serial number: 709497) in order to access the battery of the skid steer that had failed. While the co-worker operated a Hyundai forklift (model number: 30L-7A; serial number HHKHHF09CD0000694) with a 400 pound jib attached to elevate the lift arms of the skid steer to release the tension off the locking mechanism, Employee #1 maneuvered the skid steer to better adjust the lift arms for removing the locking pin. The skid steer began to rotate backwards on its rear wheels, causing the front plate on the loader lift arms to slide off of the jib that was supporting it. Employee #1 jumped out of the cab of the skid steer as the lift arms and pivoting plate fell towards the cab and ran towards the front of the equipment. The locking pin released and the lift arms crushed Employee #1. Employee #1 suffered multiple injuries to his head, neck, and shoulder, resulting in his death.
