Event description
Employee is killed when crushed by Cushman Turf Truckster
Investigation abstract
At 12:00 p.m. on May 16, 2024, the employee was working under the raised load of a CUSHMAN TURF TRUCKSTER (model #898828) to replace a rear axle. The rear of the Cushman was elevated and supported by two AC Delco 6-ton jack stands, one on the driver's side and one on the passenger side. However, the employer did not secure the load by installing wheel chocks around the front driver's side and/or passenger side tires. As a result, the Cushman frame slipped off the jack stands while the employee was underneath, crushing the employee between the Cushman and the concrete ground below. The employee sustained injuries that resulted in a fatality.
