Gary Avery, 24, also from Poole, suffered bruising on his leg and compact nerve syndrome in his foot.
Bournemouth Magistrates Court heard today that they were part of a four-strong team moving granite slabs stacked on an A-frame. Mr Thurston, an agency worker, and Mr Avery, an employee, took the weight of approximately four slabs while the other workers tried to remove the slab they needed.
