Abstract: Employee 1 reported that he was operating the controls of a compactor truck while standing at the rear of the truck nearest the flow of traffic. A coworker was operating a CAT Loader with a TINK attachment on the front gathering leaves from the street and depositing them onto the loading bin of the compactor. At some point in the operation, the compaction part of the process had slowed so the CAT Loader operator decided to move past Employee 1 to gather leaves from the front of the truck. As Employee 2 was passing the location where Employee 1 was standing, he thought he saw a car in his rearview mirror that was moving toward him. To avoid hitting the car, he pulled to his left and struck Employee 1. It is unclear whether Employee 2 lost sight of Employee 1's location or if Employee 1 moved. In any event, employee 1 was hit by the CAT loader and suffered a broken pelvis and was admitted to the hospital for approximately 38 hours. Employee 1 was back on the job within eight weeks.
