Investigation Summary
On March 15, 2014, Employee #1 and Coworker #1, employed by a contractor that specialized in the design and construction of retaining wall systems, were engaged in a masonry project at a commercial building. They were constructing a modular block retaining wall. Coworker #1 was operating a CAT 262B Skid Steer Bucket Loader, and Employee #1 was shoveling gravel from the bucket and positioning the modular blocks. Coworker #1 backed the loader up an incline with the loader's arms in a raised position. The loader tipped forward and struck Employee #1 in the head. Employee #1 collapsed and was killed. His hard hat remained pinned between the loader's bucket and a modular block. This fatality was investigated by North Carolina OSHA.
