Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:00 p.m. on September 16, 1996, Employees #1 and #2 were working on a 30 ft high reinforcing steel (rebar) cage and a 2 ft square steel form for a concrete column that was to be poured at a later time. Employee #2 expressed concern to the foreman that the bracing struts for the system were inadequate, but the foreman directed work to continue while he inquired about additional struts. Employee #1 removed a brace from the rebar cage to allow a crane to position the steel form. Employee #2 then wired together the tops of the cage and the form. When the crane released the steel form, both it and the rebar cage toppled over. Employee #1 became caught and suffered multiple fractures of his right femur. Employee #2 fell, fracturing several vertebrae and sustaining a laceration to this right arm that required 34 stitches to close and a laceration to his left elbow that required 7 stitches to close.
