Employee injures arm, nerves when struck by excavator bucket

At 3:00 p.m. on November 6, 2019, an employee working for a water and sewer line installation contractor at a sewage treatment plant was in a trench directing a coworker (excavator operator) on the movement of the excavator bucket. The coworker was using the excavator to dig out the bottom of the trench. The employee caught his right arm between the bucket and the trench box wall. He sustained lacerations and soft tissue injuries and possible nerve damage to his arm and was hospitalized.
