Employee Is Killed in Fall from Loader

At approximately 12:55 p.m. on September 27, 2011, Employee #1 was transporting a front end loader on a tilt trailer that was hitched to a 10-yard dump truck. He lost control at a switchback with a 15 percent grade. When he attempted to back the truck and trailer onto a flat area, the combination slid off the edge of the road. Employee #1 and a coworker considered it safe to unload the loader from the trailer to get the truck back on the road. Employee #1 climbed onto the left side of the loader, which was tilted slightly downhill. When he opened the cab door, it swung towards him and knocked him over. Employee #1's head struck the trailer, and he was killed.
