Investigation Summary
At 3:15 p.m. on July 28, 2016, a 63 year old employee, a maintenance service technician. was repairing a hydraulic oil leak on a Bobcat skid steer (Model 853H). The technician was rebuilding the hydraulic cylinder and had two jack stands positioned on each corner of the bucket. A hydraulic hose that was accessed from the rear of the machine was also replaced. At one point while the technician was standing underneath the Bobcat's bucket, a hydraulic hose failed causing the bucket to fall to the ground trapping the employee under the bucket. A co-worker witnessed the bucket falling. Emergency services were called and the employee was transported to the hospital. The employee was killed from compressional asphyxia when his upper body and bones were crushed.
