Abstract: On September 24, 1992, Employee #1, of Dynamic Painting Corporation, was a member of a crew that was abrasive blasting and repainting a section of the International Bridge in Sault St. Marie, MI.

Employee #1 was working at ground level inside the collection dumpster attempting to clear out the chute bottom, which was obstructed by steel shot.
