Investigation Summary
At 7:00 a.m. on October 22, 2019, an employee working for an asphalt paving company was filling up a Maulin Conveyor Feeder Asphalt Paver Model 1750-C prior to leaving for a jobsite. The fuel cell was located in the shop yard and surfaces were slick from rain the night before. After filling up the gas tank on the driver side of the paver the employee climbed onboard to turn the paver around to fill up the gas tank on the opposite side of the paver. The employee pulled the lever to turn on the paving machine and was thrown off the machine trapping his legs between a concrete barrier and the trailing edge of the paving machine screeder. The employee was able to get his left leg free but his right leg was amputated below the knee. He was hospitalized.
