While attempting to dislodge a short length of barge rope impeding the dredge pump, the victim's hand slipped, and EE sustained a cut to left middle finger when it came against the pump wear plate edge. The resulting laceration required three sutures, and the employee was placed on restricted duty until 07/18/2016 to keep injury clean and dry.

Victim was performing normal tasks (hosing decks, positioning barges, testing sand samples, etc.) When he began to experience lower back discomfort.

While using a box cutter knife to cut the long ends of plastic wire ties, the knife slipped resulting in a 2 cm laceration on the top of the victim's left hand. The wound was closed by a physician with two stitches.

After obtaining a sand sample from a barge being loaded at the dredge, the victim stepped down to the dredge deck (a distance of 12" to 15" down). His left knee "popped" as his weight made contact with the lower level of the dredge.

Employee was engaged in the task of securing a loaded aggregate barge to an empty barge along side the dredge. In the process of placing the 2" diameter soft line up on the deck fitting of the empty barge, the victim says that he strained his back muscle.
