Incident on Jun 29, 2018: Employee incurs blood clot
At 2:00 p.m. on June 29, 2018, an employee was using a Hilti TE-3000- AVR 110 volt electric jackhammer to break up a 3 inch thick piece of concrete over pour of the newly constructed maintenance shop. The employee had a blood clot that had formed in his leg and it migrated to his lungs. It is unclear whether the use of the jackhammer was the cause of its migration. The employee was hospitalized.
