Investigation Summary
On October 31, 2010, Employee #1 was part of a crew shoring up the banks of a canal using a hydraulic excavator. The hydraulic excavator was operating on top of heavy equipment mats. The heavy equipment mats provide stability for the excavator while operating on uneven terrain. After completing the work the crew began to remove the mats by rigging a chain to the bucket of the excavator and connecting it to the mat. Employee #1 stood to the side of the excavator's bucket and the hydraulic excavator picked up the mat and shook it with the bucket to knock the dirt off. A cloud of dirt enveloped the whole area making it difficult for the operator to see. The operator then lifted the bucket and the chain securing the mat unlatched. The mat fell on top of Employee #1, killing him.
