Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:30 a.m. on April 12, 2007, Employee #1 drove a Caterpillar forklift to his work area to retrieve some concrete forms he was directed to work on. Employee #1 was removing the metal securing strips around a stack of five forms. Each form was approximately 10-ft long by 38-inch high by 7-inch thick, weighed 590-pounds, steel, curved, "Concrete Barrier" slip forms, in order to move them to another area to be worked on. Three metal strips were banded around the stack of forms, one each at the ends and center. The stored energy of the stack was released and caused the forms to fall and spread onto Employee #1 after the center strip was cut. Employee #1 sustained unspecified fractures and was hospitalized.
