Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and three coworkers were assembling a Nordberg cone crusher at a rock quarry and asphalt batch plant. As they were bolting magnetic separator #2 to the outfeed end of the cone crusher, Employee #1 had his back to the crusher's infeed conveyor as he aligned the holes between the separator and the truck frame. The upper end stand of the crusher's infeed conveyor was resting on two or three wooden block cribs. The unit was being moved sideways using a backhoe boom with a chain attached to the conveyor's lower end when the conveyor tipped over onto the crew. Employee #1 was pinned against the separator frame and suffered a punctured left lung, and fractures of his left arm, clavicle, and ribs. The movement of the lower end of the conveyor caused the upper end, which was not secured, to become destabilized and to overturn.
