Narrative

On May 22, 2018, at approximately 8:40 a.m., an employee was in the enclosed cab of an excavator preparing the ground for the installation of a silt fence. While the employee was digging around the base of a dead oak tree, a limb broke off of the top of the tree and fell onto the cab of the excavator. The limb shattered the glass sunroof, and the employee was struck by glass and broken limbs. The employee was hospitalized for a skin graph to the right index finger, cut on the head and cheek, and bruise to the hand and shoulder.
