Investigation Summary
Employees #1 and #2 were erecting a conveyor as part of assembling a portable rock crusher at a sanitary landfill. The unit also included a Pioneer jaw crusher, a Simons 3 ft cone crusher, connecting conveyor belts, and a screen unit. They were installing bolts to connect the upper end stand to the conveyor frame while a Komatsu 470 loader held up the conveyor using chains around the loader bucket teeth. As Employee #1 raised the bucket, the chains holding conveyor slipped off the teeth and the conveyor and stand fell, striking Employees #1 and #2. Employee #1 was hospitalized with fractures to both bones in his lower right leg. Employee #2 fractured his right ankle, but he was not hospitalized. Raising the loader bucket causes the bucket to level down unless it is intentionally tipped up by the operator.
