Abstract: On June 13, 2013, Employee #1, a water utility worker,was measuring the beams to insure the beams were in the correct location on the ground. The forklift could place the beams in an "I" position. The ABI machine could only pick up these beams in the "H" position, then place them in a vertical position as the pile driving machine drives the beams into the ground. The ABI machine had one operator, coworker #2 and a spotter, coworker #3. Employee #1walked into the beam as it was being rolled, coworker #2 and #3 stated they saw Employee #1 getting out of the trench walking parallel to the beam at a safe distance. the spotter then gave the "all clear" to flip the beam. After giving the all clear, the spotter noticed Employee #1 go back into the beam. The spotter tried to warn Employee #1, but he could not hear him. The beam rolled on Employee #1's left foot. Employee #1 was hospitalized, and his large toe was amputated.
