Employee #1 received seven cuts to his right shoulder and arm. Employee #1 was hospitalized, and treated for his injuries. Employee #1 worked for an employer that made ice for vegetable packers that froze 300 lbs blocks of ice in cans. They would use a bridge crane to lift 30 cans at a time in 15 can segments.
