Investigation Summary
On November 3, 2005, Employee #1 was working for a construction company. He was at a construction site where the general contractor was doing paving work. The general contractor had given a contract to a subcontractor for the installation of the storm drains and piping on the site. The subcontractor was working at its final area on the site when the accident occurred. The storm drains and the paving were being installed in an area that was being excavated for a residential housing development. Employee #1 was operating a Caterpillar vibratory compactor, when he got the compactor too close to the edge of an excavation. The compactor rolled over, pinning Employee #1 under the rollover protective structure. Employee #1 was not wearing the seat belt provided on the equipment. He sustained bruises, contusions, and abrasions to his body generally, and he was hospitalized for his injuries.
