Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:00 p.m. on or about January 9, 1999, Employee #1 died when an I-beam fell on him. Employee #1, the owner of the company, and one other employee were taking down a 16-inch I-beam that was being held up by two 5-inch columns that were bolted to a floor plate. The total height of the beam was approximately 12 feet 3 inches. The overall width of the beam was approximately 17 feet 8 inches. They used a fork lift to place a load up high in front of the beam. Employee #1 used an 8-foot step ladder to reach the top of the beam to install a sling. As he was installing the sling, the beam shook and the ladder kicked out from underneath him. As a result, he fell to the ground. The I-beam fell on him landing on his head and chest killing him.
