Event: 12/08/1999
Employee killed when head caught by arm of excavator bucket

Employee #1 was part of a crew laying sewer pipes. They had dug a trench and put in place a trench box, boards, and protector cloth, prior to dropping a load of rocks into the hole. The excavator bucket was being used to spread the rocks as Employee #1, who was sitting on the top back edge of the trench box, signaled the operator. He gave the sign to come out of the hole and the bucket began to move back toward the excavator cab. As it was moving, Employee #1's head became caught between the arm of the bucket and the top spreader bar of the trench box. He suffered a fractured skull, and was killed.
