An employee was preparing a barge for the end of a day's drilling operations. He was setting a spud on the barge when the spud struck him and broke his right leg.

A team of employees was moving boats from one slip in a marina to another using rope. An employee slipped while moving around in a boat and suffered a broken left femur.

The injured employee was standing by the controls for the electric spud system on the barge, preparing to raise the spuds. Meanwhile, an excavator was moving a mat on the deck. As the excavator swung from port to starboard, it's counterweight struck the injured employee s shoulder, causing them to lose balance and fall against the spud controls. The employee sustained bruises and contusions to their right shoulder and chest.

An employee was inserting dogbone links (4 feet 9 inches in length) into the slots between sectional barges to connect the barges. A dogbone link became stuck in the slot and needed to slide down approximately 1 foot to be seated. The employee went to lift the dogbone link up and adjust it when the link became free. A burr on the flange of the link snagged the employee's right glove. The link slid into a seated position and the employee's right middle finger was caught between the top surface of the barge and the top flange of the dogbone link. The finger was partially amputated at the midsection of the distal phalanx.

An employee was working to unload cargo from a ship. A steel coil contacted the employee's left leg. The lower leg was fractured.

While preparing to install a new spool piece for a vapor and spent sulfuric acid line, an employee was working to ensure there was no residual product or pressure in the line before removing the 6-inch hose. The valve was cracked, and some spent acid still in the line sprayed out. The employee was standing off to the side and at a distance, but was still contacted by the hot acid, resulting in corrosive and thermal burns to their upper torso and mid-thighs of both legs.

As the machine was jogged to begin the liner wrapping process, the liner caught the employee's glove and pulled their right arm into the liner, causing a fracture to the arm.

An employee was doing a cable change on top of an electric overhead traveling (EOT) crane. They were positioned between the cable drum and the drive shaft. While rotating the cable drum, the employee reached for the new cable that was to be installed.
