Abstract: At 8:00 a.m. on July 19, 2017, Employee #1, a carpenter employed by a construction company, was part of a crew setting wooden forms for a two-story building's 25-foot tall concrete column. As Employee #1 was climbing down from the top of the wooden form, which was not supported/braced, the form started to fall toward the second floor concrete deck. The form came to rest on top of the decking, pinning Employee #1 between the decking and the form. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for a crushed pelvis and crushed legs.
