Event: 02/23/1996

Employee injured when struck by swinging backhoe arm

Employee #1 was standing on a retaining wall at a construction site, holding up an electrical cord with a shovel. A cement form had broken, and a coworker was attempting to move a Ford model 555D backhoe into position to use the bucket. As the driver was exiting the backhoe to help Employee #1, the gloves in his back pocket hit the boom control lever on the machine. The boom moved to the right, struck Employee #1, and knocked him into some metal wall studs of the structure under construction. Employee #1 later went to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a pulled muscle and contusion to the left shoulder.
