Investigation Summary
On December 12, 2007, Employee #1, a structural steel erection foreman, was working in a building undergoing a gut renovation, where the wood was being replaced by steel beams. He was carrying an acetylene cylinder while walking along a pre-existing, wooden joist floor with poured concrete on top. As he was moving the floor suddenly collapsed and he fell one story to the basement. Employee #1 fell on a wooden beam and concrete. Emergency Services was called and he was transported to St. Vincents Hospital, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. A shoring plan was in place, but shoring was being removed to install steel beams and the shoring was not being replaced. The floor collapsed because a brace supporting a wooden joist on the first floor had been removed to install a steel beam and, after the beam was in place, the brace was not replaced.
