Investigation Summary
On October 3, 2005, Employee #1 and a coworker were working for an firm that constructed underground utilities. Employee #1 was not a contract employee. The two workers were unloading a palletized stack of clay sewer pipes from a flatbed truck. Their plan was to move the pallet to the edge of the flatbed and then lift the pallet with a forklift. They were going to tie the pallet with a rope to the bucket of a backhoe and slide it to the edge of the flatbed. The coworker was operating a Case 580 Super L backhoe, with Serial Number 100002, while Employee #1 was on the flatbed, fastening a rope to the bucket of the backhoe. The backhoe boom swung over inadvertently and knocked Employee #1 off the flatbed onto a pile of pipes. Employee #1 sustained several fractured ribs and a collapsed left lung. He was hospitalized for one week.
