Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was delivering a bulldozer/spray rig to a customer's property. He backed the delivery truck and its trailer up to an uneven, soft spot; the trailer was not level and it became stuck. Instead of getting help to pull out the trailer, Employee #1 decided to unload the bulldozer to take off some of the weight. As he was moving the dozer, it turned over on its side and Employee #1 fell to the ground. He sustained arm and shoulder injuries, for which he was hospitalized.
