At approximately 6:30 p.m. on June 26, 2004, Employee #1, with Mulliniks Recycling, Inc., was working to recycle asphalt material for Baldwin Paving. He walked over to an area where a skid steer loader was operating to speak with the operator. Apparently, Employee #1 lost his balance and tripped. He then reached out onto the loader to catch his balance at the same time the operator was lowering the bucket. Employee #1's head became caught between the hydraulic cylinders on the machine. His carotid arteries were punctured and he was killed. | |||||||
