Employee's leg injured when bulldozer rolls over

Employee #1 was using a Caterpillar 973 bulldozer to push over large trees so that they could be cut up and removed. He was pushing over a tree when the root came up and slowly rolled the bulldozer over onto its side. Employee #1 panicked and tried to leave the vehicle during the slow roll-over. He sustained a crushing wound to his leg and underwent two surgeries to repair the damage. Roll-over protection was in place, but Employee #1 was wearing a seat belt, which was found wedged up behind the seat. The employer was cited for a serious violation for failure to ensure seat belt use.
