Investigation Summary
On August 17, 2011, Employee #1 was operating a D-9 dozer, stock piling gravel on the edge of a slope which was above sheet piling cells at the port. The cells were full of water, 20 feet wide, 75 feet long, and about 20 feet deep at the sea wall end. The dozer slid down the slope and into the water with the very top of the roll over bar sticking out of the water. Apparently, the employee climbed onto the ripper assembly attached to the rear of the dozer and jumped into the water. The employee's feet became trapped in soft running material, and he drowned.
