M.M. Sundt Construction Co. v. Industrial Commission

Respondent employee, Neftale C. Herran, has operated heavy construction machinery for 35 years. During the 12 to 15 years prior to 1977, he was employed by petitioner M. M. Sundt Construction Co., working primarily on highway and street construction. The noise level at such job sites was of such magnitude that hand signals were often essentially the only means of communication.
