Event description

Employee sustains head trauma when struck by gate replacing

Investigation abstract

At 3:00 p.m. on September 22, 2021, an employee working for a dairy was assisting a coworker changing out a motor for a waste auger. The pair were using a Gale skidsteer to complete the work. A hinged swinging gate enclosed the auger pit. The fork did not clear the side of the gate causing the gate to be pushed into the enclosure striking the employee in the forehead. The employee fell backwards striking his head on the concrete wall. The employee was hospitalized to treat a subdural hematoma and epidural hematoma on the left side of his head.
