Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was operating a 1983 CAT 225 excavator and a bulldozer at the accident site. He was clearing trees and tree limbs, and clearing the right of way on a private farm so that the farmer could install a fence. Employee #1 had dug an excavation approximately 10-ft-wide, 10-ft-deep, and 30-ft-long, using the excavator. He had used the dirt from the excavation to build the fence right of way, using the bulldozer. At the time of the accident, he was operating the excavator in close proximity to the excavation. The excavator apparently slid down the wall of the excavation, and fell on its side. Employee #1 apparently attempted to exit from the cab of the excavator as it was falling, and was crushed and killed by the equipment. He was working alone. The excavator was equipped with a rollover protective structure (ROPS) and a seat belt. Employee #1 was not wearing the seat belt.
