Narrative

An employee was cleaning the site and putting debris in a skid steer bucket. He was dislodging a piece of wood that was caught between the mechanical arm of a skid steer when he inadvertently pressed the skid steer's foot control. His right leg was then caught between the arm and the bucket, breaking his tibia.
