Final narrative
An employee was cutting 2-inch tubing off a fence panel at a job site. To access the opposite side for continued work, they used the forks of a front loader to flip the panel over. During this maneuver, the tubing pipe became dislodged from the panel. Upon hitting the ground, the pipe rebounded toward the employee, who was standing approximately 15 feet away. The dislodged pipe struck the employee's face, resulting in fractures to their nose and cheek bone, a dislocated jaw, and an injury to their left eye.

An employee was helping to move a 1,300-pound coil on a cart. The steel caster hit a crack in the concrete, the weld holding the caster onto the cart broke, and the coil and cart tipped over onto the employee.

An employee was attempting to lift a steel beam from a horizontal, stacked position to a vertical position using a crane. They had placed two hooks on the east side of the beam on the flange. As the employee was hoisting the crane, the beam began to shift and pulled the employee forward onto the stack. When the material shifted, the hooks released and the material fell, pinning the employee between the two beams. The employee was hospitalized with soft tissue contusions on their proximal right thigh and interior left thigh.
