Investigation Summary
On August 20, 2012, an employee was working as the operator of a backhoe for a firm that constructed highways and streets. He climbed down from an idling Caterpillar backhoe to complete a task on the ground. When he returned to the backhoe, the operator approached the backhoe from the back He positioned himself between the backhoe's boom and the outrigger, so that he could put a gas-powered saw on the floor of the cab.
