Employee injured when pipe fell, pinning leg

On May 9, 2003, Employee #1, a pipe fitter for a manufacturer of steel pipe, was using a fork lift truck to place a metal collar on the outside diameter of a four-foot-long section of pipe. Employee #1 had placed the collar at the edge of the pipe and was sliding it onto the section of pipe when the four-foot-long section of pipe tilted toward Employee #1 and slid off the fit up rolls. The pipe and the metal collar pinned Employee #1 to the shop floor. The four-foot-long section of pipe weighed approximately 3,000 pounds. Employee #1's right leg had to be amputated and he was hospitalized.
