POWERED HAULAGE
Quality Sand, Inc. · Struck against a moving object
Loader operator was instructed by supervisor to push sand toward screen on flat surface. The operator would push forward, and then back up to start pushing material again. Due to inattention, the operator backed the back tires of the articulated loader sideways on a 5:1 slope unbalancing the machine, and the machine tumbled over onto its side.
