Calumet River Fleeting, Inc.

An employee was stepping off a boat onto a rocky river bank. He tripped due to the uneven walking surface and fell, suffering a broken right tibia.

An employee was preparing pilings on a tied-off barge when they tripped and fell three feet from the barge to the ground. The employee sustained a lower right leg and ankle displacement.

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.

An employee was stepping off a gangway and tripped on a piece of rope that is attached to the safety net. This caused him to fall to the dock and then he rolled underneath the passenger side of a pickup truck that was parked about 3 to 4 feet from the gangway. When the pickup truck pulled away, it ran over the employee's left leg and fractured it.
