Abstract: On July 17, 1998, Employee #1 was working with a hydraulic boom-truck operator in installing 40-foot-long sections of pipe in a new pipe rack. Each pipe was six inches in diameter, 40 feet long, and weighed 760 pounds. One end of a 40-foot long section of pipe had been lowered onto the pipe rack, while the other end was suspended seven-to-eight feet above the pipe rack and Employee #1. The suspended end of the pipe fell onto the leg of Employee #1. Employee #1 suffered a broken wrist, crushing injuries to his right heel and ankle, and multiple fractures to his right leg.
