| Overview |
In pavement repair work, one side of the 6-meter-wide road was controlled by the color cone, and the 0.25-cubic meter-backhoe was moving backward to remove the lateral groove. When the worker was arranging the color cones which had been put disorderly and were nearly blocking the backhoe, his right foot was run over by the caterpillar of the backhoe. |
| Incident |
A worker was run over by the backhoe moving backward. |
| Sequence |
* The construction staff brought together the work party, and they carried out the morning meeting and KY activity.
* The construction staff instructed the workers to pay attention to safety in the work near the heavy machine and to the movement of vehicles passing through which were not regulated.
* However, the location of the color cones was inadequate when the traffic control was started, and the heavy machine was carried in before the control finished. |
| Cause |
* No one walked in the front of the backhoe when it was moving backward.
* The operator of the backhoe did not look back.
* The work was assigned to only one young worker who was inexperienced. |
| Countermeasures |
* Heavy machines should be carried in after the traffic control finishes.
* When a heavy machine is to be carried in, a person who leads the machine should be staffed, and he should direct it.
* The safety training should be carried out sufficiently for the young and the inexperienced workers.
* An inexperienced worker should work with the experienced worker. |
| Knowledge Comment |
* In the work of heavy machine, a person who leads it should be staffed.
* A heavy machine should be carried in after confirmed that the traffic control is completed. |
