Final narrative
On May 8, 2024, an employee was guiding a piece of lattice tower into position with a tower crane being operated by another employee. Their foot became caught between the existing concrete pipe and the pipe attached to the lattice, resulting in a laceration to their left foot.
An employee was changing a boom pipe delivery system on a concrete pump truck. He tripped and fell from an elevated level to the ground, resulting in multiple leg fractures.
At 4:00 p.m. on June 13, 2025, a concrete truck was parked behind a concrete pump, discharging its material; meanwhile, a Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping employee was standing near the rear of the pump, checking the machine and the material to be placed. The truck's transmission engaged, and it reversed and pinned the employee against the pump. The employee suffered broken ribs, a severe laceration to the right hip and leg, muscle damage, and lacerations to the face and head. He was hospitalized, requiring surgery for the hip laceration.
An employee was troubleshooting a mechanical issue under equipment when his clothing became caught in the power take off (PTO) of an industrial concrete truck. The employee sustained fractures to the neck and back, a dislocated left shoulder, and lacerations to the head, face and body.
An employee was walking into the motor control center (MCC) room when his right ring finger was caught in the hinge of a doorway. He sustained an open phalanx fracture, which resulted in a partial amputation above the first knuckle.
An employee was stacking concrete blocks for a concrete bunker. As a block was swinging into place, the employee's left leg was pinched between two blocks, resulting in injuries to his left heel and lower leg.
An employee was using a crane to move a 44-foot, 3,343-pound I-beam. As the beam was moving west, it straightened out (north to south), beginning to swing south toward the northwest corner of a building. The crane then sent the beam southward, directly toward the corner of the building. The beam caught the tips of the employee's left index, middle, and ring fingers against the building. The last joints of the middle and ring fingers were amputated, and the last joint of the index finger was partially crushed.
An employee was placing a board on top of a bundle of steel tubing. A crane was moving a bundle of steel that struck the employee and caught them against another bundle of steel tubing. The employee sustained a crushing injury and hematoma to the right upper leg.
Employees were using a crane to lower large tree stems and branches while removing limbs and branches from the load. This caused the load to shift and strike an employee in the back, resulting in a hematoma on the lower left part of their back and a fractured ankle.
