Investigation Summary
Employees #1 and #2 were standing on a steel I-beam approximately 4 ft above the ground. The beam had been welded to two vertical sheets of steel and was being used as a guide to pile drive sheet piling into the ground. The first three sheets went into the ground without difficulty, but the fourth sheet struck something in the ground and caused a resonance through the steel, breaking the welds on the I-beam. Employees #1 and #2 were thrown to the ground and the beam landed on them. Both employees sustained injuries to their legs and back and both were hospitalized for one week.
