Investigation Summary
On February 14, 2005, Employee #1 had dismounted a backhoe with the engine running and the boom in the upraised position. He retrieved a pneumatic chipping hammer from a nearby toolbox and put it in the rear left side of the cab. The pneumatic chipping hammer weighed approximately 35-40 pounds and was placed on top of the left swing pedal. This activated the boom causing it to move to the left, pinning Employee #1 against the upraised stabilizer. A nearby heavy equipment operator used the backhoe controls to move the boom to the right to free Employee #1. Employee #1 died.
