Investigation Summary
On February 18, 2000, Employee #1, a foreman for a concrete finishing contractor, was near a Schwing 52-meter concrete pump that was supported by outriggers. One of the outriggers was resting on a backfilled excavation. During the pumping operation, the backfill gave way under the weight and the outrigger collapsed into the excavation. The concrete hose attached to the pump whipped around after the outrigger collapsed and struck Employee #1's ankle, fracturing it. The compressive strength of the backfill had not been determined before the outrigger was placed on top of it. The pump unit was owned and operated by a subcontractor.
