Investigation Summary
Employee #1, who worked for a manufacturer of precast concrete products, was drilling 0.5-in.-diameter by 3-in.-deep holes in a 14-ft-long by 2.5-ft-wide by 5-in.-thick concrete slab. The slab was leaning against the foot of a wooden frame that held a larger precast concrete panel. The drill bit stuck, and the torque swung Employee #1 against the precast panel, causing the slab to fall on his right foot. His foot was pinned against pieces of lumber located next to the slab. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
