Abstract: On June 25, 2009, Employee #1 was standing in close proximity to precast panels leaning against a wall. The precast panel was approximately 5ft by 20ft, and weighed approximately 8,000 lb. There were two leaning on a wall on the first floor of the construction site. As a crane transported one of the panels, the second panel tipped over and pinned Employee #1 against plywood boards. He sustained a broken pelvis and a punctured artery. Other coworkers heard him and ran to move the precast panel. Employee #1 was taken to Bellevue Hospital by ambulance. He underwent medical treatment and was hospitalized.
