Investigation Summary
On January 2, 2016, at approximately 10:45 a.m., an employee and co-worker were cutting through a concrete wall to cut out a double door opening. The cutout measured six feet by eight feet by six inches thick. After completing the final cut, the employee, a 45 year old male, handed the saw to his co-worker. As the co-worker walked away with the saw the wall collapsed onto the employee. The employee was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. The employee sustained severe head and body injuries.
