Abstract: At approximately 9:00 a.m. on November 16, 2011, Employee #1 used an oxygen/propane torch fitted with a four foot handle to cut two pieces of rebar in a concrete beam. There were a total of four pieces of rebar encased in the beam. The beam was located approximately ten feet above the floor. Employee #2 had exposed the rebar using a Bobcat excavator model #E45M with a breaker attachment manufactured by Atlas Copco Construction Tools, model number RX8. Employee #2 signaled for Employee #1 to exit the area using hand signals and sounding the horn on the excavator. Employee #1 then began to back away from the area. When Employee #2 turned around he saw Employee #1 go back to the area in which he had been previously cutting. The concrete beam on the south wall then fell, striking Employee #1 in the head. Employee #1 was pronounced deceased on the scene.
