Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14222301
Event: 03/13/2000
Employee killed when caught in auger

At approximately 8:20 a.m. on March 13, 2000, Employee #1 and coworkers were digging post holes to install a security fence on his employer's property. They were using a Massey-Ferguson #231 tractor with an attached post hole digger (auger). Employee #1 was walking around to apply pressure to the guide on the auger when his left pant leg and shirt became entangled in the auger's driver shaft. His left leg was twisted and amputated below the knee. Employee #1 became caught in and was thrashed around the auger numerous times, his head apparently striking the drive line of the auger. He was killed. The auger did not have any guards or shields to protect workers from becoming caught.
