Abstract: At 2:30 p.m. on January 7, 2019, Employee #1, a supervisor, and a coworker, both employed by a construction company, were working at the site of a commercial building construction project. The supervisor intended to use a skid steer loader to remove an existing concrete foundation. He first needed to change the bucket on the loader. The supervisor instructed the coworker to operate the loader. As the coworker raised the loader bucket so that the supervisor could detach it, the supervisor released the locking mechanism. The bucket fell and struck the supervisor's left foot. The supervisor was transported to the hospital, admitted, and treated for fractures to four toes on his foot.
