Abstract: On December 12, 2003, Employee #1 and a co worker were in a trench digging it deeper and placing the dirt on a spoil pile. This pile was created at an earlier point in the job and had a small accumulation of snow. A concrete footing from an old deck slid out of the spoils pile and struck Employee #1 in the back of his leg, pinning it. After being extricated, he was hospitalized at Newton Wellesely Hospital for a fracture.
