Investigation Summary
At 12:00 a.m. on May 26, 2020, an employee and a coworker were working to install an approximate four foot by twenty foot debris platform on a bridge. The platform was attached to CAT excavator by two chains on each end of the platform. Once the platform was in place the employee and coworker stepped onto the platform to remove the chains.
