Employee's Toe Is Injured by Falling Manhole Cover

On June 28, 2004, Employee #1, with ABM Engineering (a payroll services company), was troubleshooting a water leak outside of a building with an independent contractor. The contractor was lifting a manhole cover with a hoist to gain access into a fire tank.

Employee #1's job duties did not require safety shoes. He was not expected to be assisting with troubleshooting or repair.
