Investigation Summary
On May 10, 2007, Employee #1 was working with two coworkers and a foreman as a laborer. The four of them were installing 1,200 ft of 12-in. water main to service residents while the water storage tank was being removed and rebuilt in another location. At the time of the accident, Employee #1 was operating an Ingersoll-Rand 90-pound jackhammer. Employee #1 was located in the street and was breaking up the asphalt so they could dig a trench to tie the "pull box" for the electrical conduit into the water pipe. According to Employee #1, he positioned his left foot against the side of the 6-in. steel jackhammer blade, which he indicates he does to control the jackhammer when the power is applied. Employee #1 indicates that he squeezed the lever to start the jackhammer and when he did, the blade bounced up onto his left foot, the blade went through his boot, and through his left great toe. Employee #1 was wearing steel-toed shoes at the time. The great toe was fractured and lacerated, leaving only about 30 percent of his toe attached. Employee #1 had surgery on his left great toe, with pins inserted and was hospitalized for 3 days.
