Abstract: At approximately 3:30 p.m. on January 18, 2005, Employee #1 was working for a utility contractor. At the time of the accident, a concrete vault cover (10 feet by 8 feet by 6 inches, weighing 2200 pounds) was suspended on the bucket of a "2002, CASE, back-hoe, model 580 Super M, I.D. #JJG 0373661" via a chain. The back-hoe operator balanced the load and started to move the suspended load by backing the back-hoe up, at which time the load began bouncing. Employee #1 tried to hold the load to stabilize it when the anchor bolt broke loose off the vault cover and swung on one side. The load began to fall, striking Employee #1 on his left leg above the knee and then crushed his right big toe. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
