Employee became overheated at the job site. His supervisor offered him hydration and put him in the truck to cool down. It became apparent that he may need a doctor because of pre-existing medical conditions and the fact that he was not taking his blood pressure medications.

Employee's were relocating 55-gallon drums from the "grease rack' area to a storage trailer. They were using a dolly to move the drums.

I was digging a perimeter drainage ditch in the new pit area. There is some standing water (mabye 2ft deep). This limited the visibility of the actual ditch sides. I apparently got too close to the edge of the ditch and the machine tipped into the ditch, cab side first. The cab strted to fill with water and I (in a panic) kicked out the front window of the cab and crawled through.
Employee was pulling around some ruts in the pit to get to the dragline for greasing. When he was finished, he started backing up. He thought he was following the same tracks he used coming in, but instead backed up roughly 60 ft staright into the pit. Another employee was able to get him out of the truck, but as soon as he was out, the truck went into the pit and was submerged.
