Backhoes consist of a digging scoop at the end of an arm (also called stick or dipper) and are used for excavating and moving material such as rocks or dirt.

In addition, improperly used and maintained backhoes often rollover causing injury or death, cause electrocutions, and slide into ditches or trenches.

Three Construction Workers Killed in a Texas Fatal Scaffolding Collapse Construction Accident

Four construction companies face citations for safety violations in a construction accident that left three dead. Three construction workers fell 11 stories after the scaffolding broke at a construction site. The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration proposed the penalties and fines. Investigators determined that if scaffolding parts had been inspected and replaced or repaired as needed, it is possible that this tragic accident and loss of life could have been avoided. According to OSHA, the general contractor and three other companies face multiple citations, ranging from failing to provide adequate training to failing to inspect and maintain scaffolds. One of the construction companies was cited with three serious violations, including failing to develop and implement a safety and health program, and failing to provide a competent person to inspect the scaffold prior to use,according to OSHA.

A willful violation is one committed with intentional, knowing or voluntary disregard for the law's requirements, or with plain indifference to employee safety and health. A serious violation is one that could cause death or physical harm that can result from a hazard an employer knew or should have known exists and a repeat violation is issued when an employer previously was cited for the same or similar hazard within the last three years.
