Abstract: Employee #1 was assigned to weld together concrete panels on a tilt slab-type construction. He had been employed for one month and this was his first day performing this task. At approximately 3:00 p.m. the expansion bolts (quik bolts) holding the stiff leg to a previously set panel pulled out. The panel, which was shaped like an inverted L, was supported by braces and the stiff leg and began to fall. Employee #1 ran under the falling panel, which weighed approximately 12 tons, and was crushed to death.
