Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:45 a.m. on April 17, 2007, Employee #1 was on a construction site using an oxygen/acetylene cutting torch to cut webbing. The webbing was obstructing the location where he was to place a form bolt. Employee #1 was standing on a platform that was 11 ft, 7 in. over a concrete floor. The platform was about 18 inches wide in the South octagon concrete forms. While taking time to inspect his work, he unhooked his positioning belt hook and took a step back to get a better view. Employee #1 did not realize that the platform did not extend behind him. He fell backwards to the concrete floor below. During the fall, his left foot struck the concrete floor first, and he suffered a left fibula fracture. Employee #1 was taken to John Muir Medical Center in Concord, California and was hospitalized.
