## Narrative

On July 11, 2019, an employee was laying an 8-foot, 36-inch diameter concrete pipe as an excavator was pulling the grade. As the excavator was setting the bucket (54-inch wide) down on the ground it pushed the employee towards the 36-inch pipe. The employee's lower back got caught between the bucket and the pipe. He sustained bruising and a contusion to his lower back and was hospitalized.
