Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was working in the basement of a new residential house under construction. The temporary wooden supports had been prematurely removed and unsecured steel 'lolly' columns that had been installed did not support the beam laterally. With no lateral supports in place, the beam was balanced by the 'lolly' columns until it fell to one side and struck Employee#1. Employee #1 was fatally injured.
