Abstract: This project involved the construction of a 2-story steel and precast addition to an existing private school. The masonry contractor was placing a bucket of mortar at ground level with a rough terrain forklift to build the east wall. The forklift operator was booming in and placed the forklift in reverse when the mast of the forklift came in contact with the steel structure. This caused the precast hollow core panels to shift off the flange. The panels fell from the first floor onto Employee #1 walking below. Employee #1 was killed.
