GENERAL DYNAMICS NASSCO

An employee was preparing a barge for the end of a day's drilling operations. He was setting a spud on the barge when the spud struck him and broke his right leg.

A team of employees was moving boats from one slip in a marina to another using rope. An employee slipped while moving around in a boat and suffered a broken left femur.

The injured employee was standing by the controls for the electric spud system on the barge, preparing to raise the spuds. Meanwhile, an excavator was moving a mat on the deck. As the excavator swung from port to starboard, it's counterweight struck the injured employee s shoulder, causing them to lose balance and fall against the spud controls. The employee sustained bruises and contusions to their right shoulder and chest.

An employee was inserting dogbone links (4 feet 9 inches in length) into the slots between sectional barges to connect the barges. A dogbone link became stuck in the slot and needed to slide down approximately 1 foot to be seated. The employee went to lift the dogbone link up and adjust it when the link became free. A burr on the flange of the link snagged the employee's right glove. The link slid into a seated position and the employee's right middle finger was caught between the top surface of the barge and the top flange of the dogbone link. The finger was partially amputated at the midsection of the distal phalanx.

An employee was working to unload cargo from a ship. A steel coil contacted the employee's left leg. The lower leg was fractured.
