Final narrative
An employee moved from a trench box to a man hole box to clean around a sump pipe with a shovel. An excavator was moving a steel plate used for shoring in the man hole box. The steel plate fell onto the bridge of the employee's foot, dislocating their ankle and fracturing several bones on top of the foot.

An employee was helping to move a 1,300-pound coil on a cart. The steel caster hit a crack in the concrete, the weld holding the caster onto the cart broke, and the coil and cart tipped over onto the employee. He was hospitalized with a laceration on his forehead and a pelvic fracture on his right side.
An employee was attempting to lift a steel beam from a horizontal, stacked position to a vertical position using a crane. They had placed two hooks on the east side of the beam on the flange.

When the material shifted, the hooks released and the material fell, pinning the employee between the two beams. The employee was hospitalized with soft tissue contusions on their proximal right thigh and interior left thigh.

The excavator bucket shifted and slid, striking the employee s right foot and trapping it against the ground. The employee sustained a fractured right tibia.

The employee was hospitalized with a fractured arm.
