Investigation Summary
On November 1, 2007, Employee #1, a loader operator, left his Case 631 front-end loader to assist a coworker who was resetting and repairing a collar (form) that had been constructed on the storm drain line to the manhole bell. The loader rolled into the approximately 2 ft deep excavation, pinning him between the loader's front tire and the cement manhole bell. Employee #1 was killed. He had left the front-end loader in idle, without setting the brake and/or lowering the bucket.
