Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 200820090
Event: 10/30/1997
Four employees injured when masonry wall collapses

At 12:05 p.m., Employees #1 through #4, all masons, had just completed laying a 7 ft high by 22 ft long masonry wall built of 8 in. by 8 in. by 16 in. blocks on top of a similar 8 ft high wall that had been completed two days earlier. The final 15 ft 4 in. tall wall had a brace in the middle of it but the brace had snapped in the 30 mph wind. The wall then broke apart at the horizontal seam where the new wall and the old wall were joined. The wall collapsed onto a scaffold and then onto Employees #1 through #4. They sustained injuries that required hospitalization. No rebar or grout was used in this construction, nor were there any bond beams. The company was cited for inadequate wall bracing using MIOSHA guidelines as a foundation. The CSHO felt that the mortar had been oversanded because at even one week, the mortar crumbled on one's hand; budget considerations preventing testing to determine this factor.
