Abstract: At 9:00 a.m. on March 23, 2020, an employee was attempting to reposition a barge lid cover by lifting and resettling. The boom stick arrangement was in an inadequate position when the crane operator attempted to reposition the lid. Upon extension of the stick, the barge lid came loose and freed up from a binding position, resulting in the lid swinging to the dockside of the barge. The employee was exposed to "struck-by" hazards, when standing in the swing zone of a Komatsu (model # PC800LC-8) excavator boom while being operated. The employee sustained fractures to the left leg and right foot, requiring surgery. The employee was hospitalized.
