On August 19, 2021, an employee was unloading a pipe storage rack from a flatbed trailer. A chain was holding two sections of pipe rack together. When the chain was removed, a section of pipe rack became unstable, causing the rack and the employee to fall approximately 3 feet from the flatbed trailer to the ground. The employee became pinned under the section of pipe rack and was hospitalized with a fractured pelvis. The section of pipe rack was 30 feet long and weighed approximately 1,380 pounds.
