Abstract: At approximately 7:30 a.m. on July 30, 2010, Employee #1 was installing rebar into the poured concrete. She was using a 5-gallon bucket as seat for the auger of a slip-form paver. She fell from the bucket into auger. Employee #1 sustained unspecified injuries and was hospitalized. There was no guard rail where she sat and the company did not have an alternate method of sitting on the slip-form paver to install the rebar in the poured concrete. At the time of the accident the coworker operating the slip-form paver was not at the control panel of the machine. Rather, he was bent over the railing on the right side of the platform.
