Arcosa Aggregates Gulf Coast, LLC · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

The IE repositioned self on top of a weir which caused the employee/operator to lose visual of one another. As the 326F bucket was lowered, it brushed EE's outside right leg which caused EE's inside right leg to scrape alongside the flange of the weir. IE's inside right leg received a laceration from below the knee to the bottom of EE's calf.
