Investigation Summary
On March 1, 2003, Employee #1, a pipe fitter, was working in an excavation below a backhoe that was being used to lift a piece of pipe for the pipe fitters. When the operation was complete the backhoe operator raised his outriggers but had left the backhoe in reverse so when the tires hit the ground, the backhoe fell into the excavation striking and killing Employee #1.
