Abstract: At approximately 2:50 p.m. on August 17, 2009, Employee #1 was placing a fabric on a concrete pour for a new overpass on Interstate 94 at the Medina, North Dakota, exit. Concrete for an overpass was poured that morning. A layer of burlap was placed over the concrete and fabric was being placed over the burlap. Employee #1 was bending over nailing the fabric down. The wind increased during the day and was blowing between 20 to 30 miles per hour with stronger wind gusts.
