Employee incurs bruises when pinned by hydraulic boring rig

At 8:15 a.m. on November 16, 2019, an employee working as a construction helper for an electrical contractor was setting up to make a directional boring rig to bore for a cable. As the employee was checking for leaks on the equipment he loosened the hydraulic hose which allowed the cylinder to leak down. The equipment lowered and pinned the employee under the equipment causing severe contusions. The employee was transported and admitted to the hospital to treat severe bruising to his back and upper torso.
