EE was using a metal cutting blade on a hand grinder. Blade caught & kicked back. EE lost control of the grinder & attempted to ""catch"" it. EE sustained an abrasion on right chest, a cut on the left chest and a cut on the left outer forearm.

40ton Volvo dump truck was waiting for an excavator to pass. Excavator cab was cocked to the side and slammed into the front left corner of the truck. Would have been avoided if the cab was sitting square with the tracks. The corner was sheared apart in a 6 inch tear and hydraulic fluid spilled about 2 or 3 gallons. The tear was able to be welded shut.
