Investigation Summary
At 7:45 p.m. on May 17, 2016, Employee #1 and two coworkers were working to pull a KOMATSO PC 350 hydraulic excavator from a landfill. The excavator was submerged in mud. As Employee #1 was operating a KOMATSO dozer, model number D65EX-15EO, three separate nylon straps were attached to the submerged excavator using a 1 1/2 17T Crosby shackle that was then affixed to the dozers bucket with another 1 1/2 17T Crosby shackle. When tension was applied, one of the nylon straps broke free from the shackle attached to the excavator, causing the shackle to fly into the back window of Employee #1's dozer cab. Employee #1 was struck on his torso and was killed.
