Investigation Summary
On October 21, 2008, Employee #1, a laborer, and a coworker, a Bobcat equipment operator, of Advanced Foundations Systems, Inc. were installing helical piles to support the foundation of a new building.

Employee #1 entered the site and placed the pile into position. As the Bob Tach apparatus was raised into position it fell onto Employee #1, from a height of approximately 7 feet. The total weight of the attached apparatus was between 900 and 1,000 pounds.
