Investigation Summary
At 10:00 a.m. on November 28, 2018, an employee working in a trenching operation to install twelve inch water pipe. The employee was returning rods to the rod box of a Vermeer Navigator Horizontal Directional Drill (Model Number D60X90 S3, VIN/PIN 1VRJ29031G1000106) when one of the rods kicked out and the employee reached over to grab the rod to line it up with the slot in the rack. When the rod began to seat, the employee began to descend the platform, slipped and fell between the rod box and the drive assembly. The employee received multiple fractures to the right leg and was hospitalized for treatment.
