Investigation Summary
At 12:55 p.m. on October 18, 2019, an employee was torching a section of a 64-foot I-beam that was being used for a cast in drilled hole operation as part of a highway stabilization project. The beam was placed on wood stickers horizontally on the ground to support the weight of the beam. The employee began to cut the I-beam from the bottom up. Once the I-beam had been cut, the employee used a pry bar to separate the two pieces that were cut. When the two pieces separated, the long piece of the I-beam fell to the ground and crushed the employee's foot underneath it. The employee was transported to a hospital, where he underwent surgery for his foot injury and was hospitalized for six days. Several months later, the employee had two of his toes partially amputated due to a bone infection that came about during the healing process.
