Abstract: Employee #1 was loading a bulldozer onto a tractor trailer. He had started the machine when, for some reason, he left the engine idling and exited the cab. Standing on the tracks, he opened the engine compartment door and reached inside. The engine revved up and the bulldozer started to move in reverse. Employee #1 was knocked backward onto the tracks and rode with the bulldozer until he fell to the ground. The bulldozer's left track then dropped off the trailer and landed on top of him. Employee #1 was killed.
