Two employees injured when concrete forms collapse

At approximately 10:30 a.m. on September 30, 1997, Employees #1 and #2 were erecting a 20 ft by 40 ft concrete form. They were working from a steel bracket scaffold between two form walls that were approximately 53 in. apart when a strong gust of wind pushed the forms over. The scaffold prevented the two walls from crushing the workers, both of whom escaped with minor injuries. Employee #1 received stitches for multiple cuts and lacerations and was hospitalized. Employee #2 suffered cuts and bruises, but was not hospitalized.
