Investigation Summary
Employee #1, an excavator operator, was assigned to remove an area of very wet soil and mud from an area that had been drained of water. He was operating a Link Belt LS 4300 tracked excavator from the graded, compacted area and depositing the mud into a scraper parked next to the excavator. The excavator either slipped or backed over the edge, and tipped over approximately 120 degrees. Employee #1 and the cab were submerged in the mud; he died of suffocation.
