Investigation Summary
At approximately 5:30 p.m. on April 10, 2017, an employee was putting work tools away inside a storage container onsite. He was locking the door of the storage container. A bull dozer operator was waiting for the employee to lock a storage container so he could pull the machine up to the locked doors. This was the company's practice to keep people from breaking into the storage container. The bulldozer operators foot accidently slipped off the brake because his boot was covered in mud.
