Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was standing in a 4 ft trench while a 20 ft long 8 in. ductile iron pipe was being lowered to him. The pipe was rigged by a 20 ft long, size 28, grade 80 alloy chain that was hooked to a backhoe bucket. As Employee #1 was guiding the male end of the pipe into the female end of a previously installed pipe, the chain unwound from the pipe, dropping it. Employee #1 pushed the pipe away, but it bounced off the trench wall and struck him on the right thigh, fracturing his right tibula. He was transported to the hospital, treated, and released.
