Investigation Summary
At 10:07 a.m. on April 22, 2013, an employee was picking up pieces of wood called skids to set under pipes waiting to be moved into the excavation. Loose skids were in proximity of the excavator, and the employee was walking towards the working excavator and stationary pipe. Employee #1 entered the swing area of a Komatsu PC310LC-10 hydraulic excavator and he couldn't hear the formen and spotter yelling at him to get out of the swing area. Employee #1 was caught between the excavator's counterweight and the staged piping. Employee #1 died at the scene from his injuries. The employee sustained crushing injuries of the chest and shoulder.
