"On July 1, 2010, Employee #1 was working near four caterpillar pipe laying machines (booms) that were being used to position 13 sections of 80 ft-long natural g as pipe. The pipes were being positioned in 7-ft deep trench. The employee walked in a 23-in. wide opening between the end of the main pipe and a 160-ft long st ationary pipe, while the booms were placing the main pipe into the trench. The movement of the booms caused the end of the main pipe to whip, and the employee w as crushed between the main pipe and the stationary pipe. Employee #1 was killed . A catch-off tractor was not used on the end of the main pipe to keep it from whipping.
