Employee Is Killed When Pneumatic Roller Tipped Over

On May 24, 2005, Employee #1, a heavy equipment operator, was packing a Ferguson, pneumatic roller, Model Number SP912, down the base of a roadway in preparation for asphalt paving. The roller had rubber tires, which slid off the edge of the roadway on the driver's side. The unit tipped on its side and Employee #1 was thrown from his seat. He became pinned by the roller and died. The accident investigation revealed that Employee #1 had not been wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident, causing severe injuries, which led to his death.
