Investigation Summary
At 7:30 a.m. on September 13, 2017, Employee #1 and Coworker #1, employed by a construction company, were operating earth-moving scrapers at a multiemployer construction project, a new residential building development. They were grading the unimproved lots. Employee #1, who was operating a Caterpillar 637 Scraper, Identification Numbers K8E88, 5-323, and UF3L78, performed a cut/fill operation and dropped the load of dirt from his scraper's bowl. He then attempted to complete a 180-degree turn at a higher than normal rate of speed. Employee #1 lost positive control of the machine and was unable to stop. Employee #1's scraper collided with the scraper driven by Coworker #1. Employee #1, who was wearing a seat belt, lost consciousness. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for a concussion, multiple rib fractures, and contusions to his left lung and left knee. During the subsequent investigation, the employer's mechanic stated that he had inspected the scraper operated by Employee #1, which was totaled in the collision, and that the machine's braking system was not functional.
