Incident on Feb 27, 2016 (fatal): Employee struck and killed by motor grader
At 12:00 a.m. on February 27, 2016, employee #1 was working for a grading subcontractor, doing site work at a new construction site. Employee #1 was evaluating ground conditions and walked approximately 12 feet away from a John Deere 672G motor grader. The motor grader operator was driving in reverse when employee #1 was struck and run over by the motor grader. Employee #1 was killed. He had been wearing a safety vest. The motor grader was provided with a back-up alarm. There was communication between employee #1 and the motor grader operator (eye contact). Training was provided to both the employee and the motor grader operator. It is not clear why employee #1, who was walking parallel and alongside the motor grader, decided to change paths. There were no eye-witnesses to the event.
