Abstract: At approximately 12:00 p.m. on November 18, 2009, Employee #1, a construction laborer, was using metal bars to align a suspended 20,000 lb pipe with a pipe section that had already been placed on the floor of a trench. As his supervisor was operating a hydraulic excavator (Caterpillar Model Number 385C L) to lower the pipe, Employee #1's left foot was crushed. He was hospitalized at Lancaster Community Hospital for an amputation of the foot.
