Abstract: At 8:00 a.m. on January 22, 2019, Employee #1 was engaged in the installation of a modular home assembly. He was lowering a bottle jack so that the modular home would sit on wooden cribs (blocks of nailed wood boards). As the employee was lowering the 12-ton bottle jack, the jack base dislodged in the unstable, soft, wet, muddy soil. The employee, who was standing between the modular building and another modular trailer, was pinned underneath the modular building. He was transported to the hospital and admitted for treatment of crushing injuries, including multiple fractures of the pelvis.
