Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:15 p.m. on August 17, 2009, Employee #1 helped laying a basement foundation. He was putting up the outside and inside walls to tie them together, prior to pouring the concrete. Employee #1 was working from a 9-ft by 3-ft by 4-ft basket and he was removing some form of aluminum plates, 3-ft by 9-lft aka pans. There were eight pans in the basket, each weighing approximately 90 lb. While Employee #1was pulling a pan out the basket, apparently it tipped over and struck him. Employee #1 fractured his arm and sustained bruises and scratches. The foreman called for an ambulance, which arrived at approximately 12:30 p.m. Employee #1 was taken by a life flight to Creighton Medical Center.
