The laceration on left outer forearm was through the skin and in to the muscle tissue, requiring stitches. EE was wearing gloves and PPE.
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.
