Investigation Summary
On August 14, 2003, Employee #1 was in an excavation near one end of a section of 8-in. water pipe as it was being shifted to remove it from the excavation to correct its length. The pipe had been hoisted and shifted by an excavator bucket equipped with a chain with hooks. The chain was rigged through a synthetic web sling which was then wrapped around the center of the pipe section. When the pipe broke free from the connection on the end opposite Employee #1, his left knee became caught between the pipe being shifted and an existing gas line, causing torn ligaments and contusions.
