Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was part of a crew setting up a portable classroom building. The structure, riding on a steel beam, was being lowered onto cement blocks that were serving as a foundation. After all workers and equipment had been removed from under the building, the crew began lowering the steel beam using jacks, air mats, and large wooden timbers. As the beam was descending, it suddenly lurched off the jacks toward the south, striking Employee #1 on the head and pressing him against a concrete foundation block. He was killed.
