| Workers are assembling a plastic greenhouse. A tractor shovel is being used to move a bundle of pipes for the frame while a worker steadies the bundle. |
|
The worker who was steadying the bundle tripped and fell over a ridge in the ground, and was run over by the front wheels of the tractor shovel.

| Tips for preventing similar accidents
|
| 1. |
When moving suspended loads, use a mobile crane or a vehicle-type construction machine with a crane attachment. (Some types of moveable cranes can be moved while carrying loads.) |
| 2. |
When loading or unloading long materials, use a guide rope to guide the materials from beyond the operating radius. |
