| Some lumber (bundled square logs) that has been loaded onto a
truck is starting to fall off the rear. Workers are trying to use the bucket of
a tractor shovel to push the logs back in place using a prop. One worker is
riding in the bucket to help do this. |
|
The tractor shovel suddenly lurched forward, causing the worker to be crushed between the lumber and the bucket.

| Tips for preventing similar accidents
|
| 1. |
Do not ride in machinery buckets or anywhere other than the
operator's seat. |
| 2. |
Refuse to operate machinery while other workers are riding anywhere other than in the operator's seat. |
| 3. |
Use the proper equipment for the job, such a crane, and do
not use machinery for purposes for which it is not intended. |
| 4. |
Ensure that all workers are thoroughly trained in safety procedures, including activities that are prohibited at work sites. |
