Two employees injured when ceiling collapses

At approximately 11:00 a.m. on August 18, 1993, Employees #1 and #2 were removing a suspended concrete ceiling. They were standing on a Baker's scaffold about 4 ft high using a "save all" to cut out sections of the ceiling. When the vibrations from the saw dislodged the hangers that were holding up the ceiling, the ceiling collapsed, and struck Employees #1 and #2, knocking them to the ground. Employees #1 and #2 were hospitalized with head, back, and arm fractures.
