Employee Is Killed When Crushed Between Loader and Wall

At approximately 3:15 p.m. on March 7, 2007, Employee #1 was operating a walk-behind Bobcat mini track loader with a hydraulic breaker attachment and was chipping and breaking concrete inside an existing pool. He was working in the 8-foot section of the pool breaking steps, when the chisel became stuck in the rebar. He attempted to reverse and pull the equipment back, when the chisel dislodged. This caused the Bobcat to lurched back, striking and pinning the employee against the pool wall. He suffered a fractured pelvis and was hospitalized.
