Abstract: Employee #1 was in a 36-in.-deep trench helping to place a 24-in. concrete storm drain pipe in the trench. His left arm got pinched between the track-hoe bucket and the pipe. Employee #1 had placed himself along the side of the pipe in a position where the track-hoe operator could not see him. As the track-hoe operator tried to nudge the pipe into place with the bucket on the hoe, Employee #1's arm got caught between the bucket and the pipe. His arm was crushed just above the wrist.
