Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was a member of a crew doing formwork stripping at a construction site. While the formwork contractor was making a temporary catch platform for formwork debris, a 4 in. by 4 in. by 16 ft piece of lumber fell from the #14 slab. The lumber struck Employee in the head, killing him. Another employee, whose identity is unknown, was struck in the leg, declined medical treatment, and left the site. There had been several prior near-misses with falling lumber; two weeks before his fatal accident, Employee #1 had almost been struck while waiting for the personnel hoist.
