Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was assigned by his foreman to roll and compact the ground where they had installed a new underground sewer line system. He was operating an Ingersoll-Rand compacting roller, model #SD40 D/F, on a 12 degree incline when it flipped over in the loose soil. Employee #1 was ejected and became pinned to the ground by the ROPS canopy system. The foreman and coworkers took a chain, hooked it to the ROPS canopy, and used a Katmasu 300 trackhoe to lift the compactor off of him. Employee #1 sustained a broken pelvis and a fractured right hip and was flown to the Shock Trauma unit in Baltimore. He was not following the warning labels that were posted at the compactor's operator station. In addition, the seat belt was broken, so Employee #1 was not able to wear it.
