At 7:40 a.m. on October 3, 2025, an employee was unloading a bulkhead at a dock door.

The hip was broken and he was hospitalized, requiring surgery.
An employee was helping to lift the grating from a floor draining system when the grating slipped and landed on his hand, resulting in the amputation of his right middle finger at the first joint.
