Abstract: At 1:30 p.m. on January 3, 2019, Employee #1 and four coworkers, employed by a construction company, were working at a multi-employer project, the construction of a parking garage. The employees were lifting a concrete shoring system to which aluminum I-beams had been attached. Unable to lift the shoring by hand, they used an electric pallet jack to lift the structure. During the lifting process, one I-beam broke loose and fell, striking Employee #1. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, admitted, and treated for a fractured ankle.
