Investigation Summary
On July 25, 2008, Employee #1 was working near the pond stock at an old landfill, piling the brush and other debris. Employee #1 started working on the Volvo dump truck, since the foreman left in the early afternoon. In order to add hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic fluid tank, Employee #1 raised the dump truck bed and held it using the excavator bucket. Refilling the hydraulic fluid to the dump truck was a routine activity. Neither block nor any other safety guards were used when performing this activity. At that time, Employee #1 was standing on the frame of the dump truck, between the cabin and the dump bed. The bed started to lower and Employee #1 was crushed between the cabin of the truck and the dump bed. He was killed.
