Narrative

A Garney Holding Company employee was helping maneuver an 84-inch pipe being installed in a 14-foot trench excavation. The employee was using PVC tubing to tilt the pipe downward to cross under a utility line; the tubing lost contact with the pipe, causing the employee to slide downward and make contact with the pipe, then the bottom of the trench. The employee's right ankle was broken.
