## Narrative

Employee was looking at the damaged trunnion sockets while standing on the discharge pipe on the dredge. To get a better view, he stepped onto a 3/8"" safety cable. The cable broke and he lost his balance. He grabbed a hydraulic hose to stop himself from falling but fell into waist to chest deep water between the pontoons. His shoulder started hurting him several hours later.
