Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:47 a.m. on February 25, 2014, Employee #1 was working for a company that placed and removed highway signs. The employer had used two cranes to remove and place a large (100 ft long) sign on the ground. Employee #1 began cutting up the sign with a torch. As he was cutting through the second bottom beam of the sign, the sign shifted, landing on his left foot, crushing it and trapping him there. The cranes were used to lift the sign off his injured foot. Emergency medical personnel were summoned. They arrived and transported to a memorial hospital, where he had surgical treatment on his fractured foot and remained hospitalized for four days.
