Investigation Summary
Employee #1, of Odebrect Construction, was in the clay pit area using a Bobcat 743B, serial #5090-19298, to load a muck rake attachment onto the flat bed of a boom truck. The rake attachment was partially on the bed when, with the Bobcat's engine running and its lift arm raised, Employee #1 dismounted and attempted to detach the rake attachment. He was positioned outside the front of the Bobcat and under its raised lift arm when his right hand struck the foot pedal that controlled the movement of the lift arm. The arm came down on Employee #1's chest, pinning him. He died of asphyxia.
