Investigation Summary
Employees #1 and #2 were engaged in the demolition of a brick building. A concrete bonding beam that encircled the building at every level had to be broken into pieces and discarded. They were removing a 22 1/2 ft long by 14 in. thick by 30 in. tall piece of this beam to which were attached three 3/4 in. by 64 in. steel rods that tied into the wooden floor joists. As the 10,000 lb piece of concrete beam rolled off the building, one of the steel rods apparently caught the scaffold on which Employees #1 and #2 were standing. The side rails were pulled off and both workers fell to the ground. Employee #1 was killed and Employee #2 suffered a fractured right elbow.
