Investigation Summary
THE EMPLOYEE HAD JUST STARTED HIS WORK SHIFT. HIS TASK FOR THE MORNING WAS TO MIX BLOOD FROM THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE WITH DIRT TO MAKE AN IRON-RICH COMPOST. HE WAS DRIVING A 1972 MICHIGAN LOADER WHICH HAD NOT BEEN RETROFITTED WITH A ROLL-OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE. AS HE WAS RETURNING TO THE MIXING PIT WITH A BUCKET LOAD OF COMPOST, THE BACK WHEEL OF THE LOADER WENT OVER THE EDGE OF THE PIT. THE LOADER FELL INTO THE PIT, LANDING ON ITS TOP. THE NON-ROPS CAB COLLAPSED, CRUSHING THE DRIVER (EMPLOYEE #1) TO DEATH.
