Abstract: At 12:00 a.m. on August 22, 2018 , Employee #1 and coworker were cleaning debris from the grounds, as demolition was performed on a residential structure, during residential construction. After a coworker/excavator operator applied a Sorting and Demolition Grapple/Excavator Attachment to the excavator, he used the Grappel attachment to grab and pile multiple pieces of miscellaneous debris. While picking up and applying pressure to the piling of wood, with the grapple, various pieces of wood splintered out and a piece of wooden debris then struck Employee #1 in the neck. As a result of the impact of the wooden debris, Employee #1 sustained multiple lacerations and was hospitalized.
