Investigation Summary
At 10:30 a.m. on June 11, 2019, Employee # 1 and a coworker, employed by a structural steel construction company, were engaged in steel erection for a new multifamily residential building. The coworker, operating an all terrain forklift, had picked up a bundle of steel joists with a nylon strap hooked to one of the forks. Employee #1 was attempting to stabilize the bundle of steel joists when the joists' sharp steep edges cut the nylon strap. The load fell on Employee #1, striking his legs. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, admitted, and treated for a leg injury involving a fracture and open wound.
