Narrative

The victim was operating a skid steer loader underneath a belt conveyor that was being dismantled. A co-worker was in an elevated manlift & was using a cutting torch to remove a piece of 4"" metal tubing attached to the leg supports of the belt conveyor. The tubing fell to the ground, tipped over into the front of the loader & struck the victim. He was hospitalized & died on 1/9/09.
