Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was leaning against the frame of a post hole auger, watching a hole being dug. The PTO-driven post hole auger was attached to a Ford tractor with a 3-point hitch. The freshly dug dirt on which Employee #1 was standing gave way, and Employee #1 started to fall into the post hole with the auger still turning. To keep from falling, he grabbed for the nearest object, which was an unguarded, spinning, power drive shaft. There was a bolt sticking out approximately 1 in. from the drive shaft's universal joint, and it caught Employee #1's shirt. He was pulled into the spinning shaft and killed.
