Employee breaks foot, ribs when struck by falling metal pipe

At 11:30 a.m. on November 7, 2019, an employee was working as a construction laborer for a building contractor on an addition to a commercial building. The employee was on the ground guiding a coworker operating a crane transporting a 12-foot galvanized pipe. The weather was windy and stormy at the time causing the pipe to slip off the rigging and hit a beam falling to the ground. On the way down, the pipe struck the employee. The employee broke his foot and three ribs and was hospitalized.
