Investigation Summary
A two-man crew was demolishing a 2-1/2 story house of stone and frame construction. They used a hydraulic, tracked excavator to pull down the structure and loaded the debris with the excavator bucket into a waiting dump truck. In order to segregate the types of debris, Employee #1, the excavator operator, intended to leave the 3 ft by 6 ft by 30 ft tall brick chimney standing free of the adjacent walls. He was using the excavator bucket to pull down the last remaining piece of wall when the debris caught on the chimney. The chimney toppled over and fell onto the cab of the excavator, crushing Employee #1. He was killed.
