What Happened:
Last Sunday a contractors employee was fatally injured when attempting to inflate a wheel assembly on a
Caterpillar 936E front end loader at their offsite workshop.
The subsequent investigation revealed that the split rim assembly was in a poor state of repair due to being
exposed to an acidic and corrosive environment.
During pressurisation, there was a catastrophic failure of the split ring assembly. The subsequent impact resulted
in the individual sustaining fatal injuries.
Immediately following the incident the individual was evacuated from their workshop to the medical clinic on
site at Sepon but despite the efforts of the medical staff, the individual was unable to be revived.
