Narrative

An employee was working a pipeline tie-in operation, aligning a pipeline section with an existing pipeline. The nylon sling attached to the track hoe that was holding the pipeline section had too much slack, and the pipeline fell about 2 feet (while still in the sling) and struck the employee. The employee suffered a hairline hip fracture.
