Abstract: On November 25, 2005, Employee #1 was working with a crew burning and cutting anchor holes through an I-beam that had been placed on concrete columns, securing the beam to the columns. The crew used a hydraulic jack that was set up on 2-ft by 4-ft lumber and was propped up on one of the concrete columns. The beam fell over prior to the cutting operation, and struck the employee in the chest. Employee #1 was killed.
