Investigation Summary
On August 2, 2013, Employee #1 was assisting with reconnecting a trash compactor and its canister at a recycling plant. The canister was not properly reattached to the trash compacter when it was emptied earlier in the day. Several employees were attempting to reconnect the two pieces.

Employee #1 was caught in between the two pieces and his upper body was crushed, when the loader pushed the canister into the compactor. Employee #1 was killed onsite.
