Abstract: At 10:15 a.m. on September 23, 2020, Employee #1 was unhooking a 60-foot beam for a new bridge being built. The employee had removed the beam clamp and signaled for the crane operator to cable up. As the crane operator began to lift, the clamp caught the bottom of the beam, causing it to tip to the side where the employee was standing. The beam pinned the employee's leg between two 60-foot bridge beams. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital for admission and treatment.
