Investigation Summary
At 12:16 p.m. on August 12, 2024, an employee working as a pipefitter for a building contractor was standing on a ladder in the rear section of a unit under construction. The employee was working on a 10-foot by 10-foot steel frame foundation. The front section of the unit accommodates the installation of electrical panels. The unit was free-standing after the temporary support welds were removed from a metal pallet for transporting and storing the heavy unit. As a result, the unit fell toward the ladder, pushed the employee over and landed on top of the employee crushing him. The employee died from crush injuries to his chest.
