Employee Is Killed When Struck by Steel Pipe

On May 8, 2012, a trackhoe operator was pulling a 5-inch steel pipe and a 10-inch diameter steel pipe from a debris pile to place them in a cleared area. The 5-inch pipe was approximately 70-feet in length, and the 10-inch pipe was 50-feet in length. The trackhoe operator met resistance as he pulled the pipes. When the pipes released, the 5-inch pipe swung outward, striking Employee #1 in the head as he walked around the corner of building and killed him.
