Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a foreman for Hanks Construction, Inc., was assisting another contractor in guiding a 67,000 lb tilt-up concrete panel into place. The panel was suspended from the boom of a 1,200-ton crane. When the crane moved onto soft, unstable ground, both the crane and the suspended panel shifted. The boom buckled and struck an erected 42,700 lb wall panel, shearing it in half. The panel fell on Employee #1 as he was fleeing the area, killing him.
