Abstract: At approximately 3:00 p.m. on December 5, 2012, a serious accident occurred at jobsite where Employee #1 was engaged in drilling piles for a secant pile shoring system for an excavation. On the day of the accident, Employee #1 set a ladder up against a casing in order to attach the rigging from the forklift to the casing. The ground that day was muddy, and about half way up the ladder, the casing fell away from him. It hit the counterweight of the drill rig and ended up landing across his left leg and lower torso. Employee #1 suffered a crushed pelvis, a compound fracture of his left femur, a severed femoral artery, and a torn colon.
