Investigation Summary
An approximately 100 ft long section of 36 in. diameter steel gas line pipe was being lifted from an approximately 5 ft deep trench by two side-boom tractors. After the pipe was removed from the ground, Employee #1 climbed onto the winch that was at the rear of the Caterpillar, serial #61 A563. The tractors moving the pipe had counterweights to balance the load. As the operator adjusted the counterweights, Employee #1 moved into the space between the counterweights and the right side of the seat. He was crushed between the seat and the counterweights, suffering a broken pelvis and a ruptured bladder. He died several weeks later.
