Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:22 p.m. on December 18, 1990, Employees #1 and #2 and five coworkers were installing wood form work for a bridge abutment in Suffolk, VA. Two sections of the 8 ft wide by 18 ft high form work had been inadequately braced and a gust of wind blew them over. Employee #1, who was walking in front of the falling forms, was struck on the head and killed. Employee #2, who was standing on the footing of the bridge abutment holding a ladder for the foreman, was pushed into an excavated area. He sustained a sprained left ankle and a small chip fracture.
