An employee was taking a discharge hose off a barge. When he went to throw the hose onto the dock, it caught his glove and pulled him with it. He fell about 5 feet off the barge, suffering a broken collarbone and rib.

An employee was rigging and guiding loads during crane operations. The crane lifted a 212-pound generator and tipped over with the boom crushing a nearby structure. Two employees on top of the structure jumped clear of the falling crane boom. A stanchion pole impaled the injured employee's upper thigh and they sustained lacerations to the thigh and buttocks. The second employee did not require medical treatment.

An employee had just climbed down from a 6-foot A-frame ladder and was trying to fold it. With both feet firmly on the deck of the barge, the employee took a step back and caught his foot on the lowest rung of the ladder. The employee fell backward and landed on a steel mooring cleat mounted to the outside edge of the barge. The employee then rolled off the barge and into the water 3 feet below. The employee sustained a lower back contusion.
