Investigation Summary
On March 18th, 2010 Employee #1, of Simpson Bridge Company Inc., was working from the form work of a column for a bridge that was being constructed. Employee #1 was preparing to pour concrete into the form work and Employee #2, a crane operator, was lowering the concrete bucket to him so he could make the pour. Employee #1 was standing on top of the 8 ft. high form work with no fall protection on at the time. When Employee #2 boomed down with the concrete bucket, the boom brake did not hold and the boom kept coming down. Employee #1 fell from the column and landed on the concrete footing approximately 8 ft. below the top of the form work. The boom came to rest after the concrete bucket landed on the concrete footing for the column. Employee #1 was fatally injured.
