Investigation Summary
At 11:52 a.m. on September 21, 1992, Employee #1 was alone stockpiling bark and mulch. He was operating a Case model 1845C Uni-Loader with a 6 ft long bucket attachment to handle the material. After dumping a load of bark, Employee #1 dismounted the machine, leaving the engine running. While trying to get back into the loader's cab, Employee #1 apparently grabbed the carriage operating lever, causing the carriage arms to draw back toward the cab and strike him in the back. Employee #1 was crushed against the loader's cab and killed.
