Narrative

Employee was injured while guiding a 20"" diameter steel pipe elbow, which was being lowered by a crane, onto some floor mounted pipe stands on the dredge. As the pipe was lowered, it was not seated properly on the stands. The crane was signaled to stop, but the pipe shifted and pinched the employee's lower left leg between the elbow and another piece of equipment.
