Incident Narrative

Workers were breaking up concrete to install gas lines and were placing the concrete chunks on a flatbed truck. The injured employee was operating a backhoe.

The injured employee then climbed up onto the tilted flatbed and began moving the smaller pieces of concrete into the bucket of the backhoe by hand when a large piece of concrete slid and pinned his ankle between the bucket of the backhoe and that large piece of concrete. His ankle was crushed.
