EE suffered a 3.5"" laceration to the left thigh that required a trip to the hospital. EE received 6 stitches. EE did return to work the following day but in a reduced work load capacity. EE was repositioning an oversized flagstone slab into a standup crate when EE lost control causing the slab to fall backward onto the left thigh.
A rock splitter assistant failed to communicate clearly that EE was beginning to flip over a rock slab, the lack of communication caused the operator to keep EE's left hand in a position that did not clear the rock slab's fall path. Thus, the operator's left ring finger was clipped by the rock slab, necessitating 2 stitches and an x-ray that turned out negative.
Cut right finger when rock was being pushed back through chopper caught in middle of two rocks that had sharp edges.
Operator transporting stone on loader forks, when right fork broke, causing loader to rear and bounce.
EE was splitting stone with hammer and chisel when the hammer splintered and a piece of steel was embedded in his leg.
