Investigation Summary
On April 26, 2012, Employee #1 was working for a rancher and a farm labor contractor at a ranch near Fowler, CA. Employee #1 was starting a blue Ford Model Number 4610 tractor to warm it up so that he could begin a spraying operation. He was between the tractor's frame and a rear wheel. The previous operator of the tractor had left the tractor in gear. Employee #1 did not know that the tractor's neutral start switch was not functioning. The tractor could thus be started in gear. When Employee #1 started the tractor, it rolled forward and hit him. He sustained a fracture to his shoulder when the wheel rolled over him. Employee #1 was taken to Fresno Community Medical Center, in Fresno, California, for treatment. He was not hospitalized.
