Investigation Summary
At 8:30 a.m. on August 9, 2021, Employee #1, a fruit bin roller, was working on a prune harvesting operation in an orchard in Corning, CA. While removing tree debris from the conveyor belt of a Kidley harvesting machine, Employee #1 inadvertently entered the danger zone in front of the drive tire. The machine operator, unaware of Employee #1's position, engaged the Kidley harvester forward. As a result, the machine's left rear drive tire ran over Employee #1's right ankle, leg, and subsequently his back and ribs, causing head, internal, and lower right leg injuries. Emergency medical services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital for admission and treatment. The investigation revealed a lack of communication between Employee #1 and the machine operator, contributing to the accident.
