On June 28, 2004, Employee #1, with ABM Engineering (a payroll services company), was troubleshooting a water leak outside of a building with an independent contractor.

The hoist line slipped through the contractor's hand, and the manhole cover landed on Employee #1's right foot. He was hospitalized at Huntington Memorial Hospital for a fractured toe. Employee #1's job duties did not require safety shoes. He was not expected to be assisting with troubleshooting or repair.
