Investigation Summary
At 1:35 p.m. on May 29, 2019, Employee #1 and Coworkers #1 and #2, employed by a cement construction company, were working at the construction site for a new hotel. They were removing the Pro-Shore system, which was used to create formwork for the cement poured to create the second floor above. The three employees were removing the joist and main beams of the Pro-Shore system in various bays under the poured concrete. Coworker #1, working from a forklift, was going from bay to bay and loosening the main beams by hitting the star nut, the piece that supports the beams, and then removing the joist and beam and handing them to Employee #1 and Coworker #2 on ground level. Coworker #1, seeing that something wasn't right, told the other employees to stand back, at which time the bay collapsed. The main beam swung out and struck Employee #1 in the face and shoulder, and Employee #1 fell to the ground and lost consciousness. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he was admitted for treatment of a fractured face, fractured left shoulder, and head injuries.
