Product involved: Concrete Forms/Pin Connection
What happened: A worker was injured while attempting to disassemble steel forms for concrete. A pin that supported the forms failed resulting in the form dropping onto the worker’s head.

Recommendations: Positioning of connections can be important for these types of structures. It is important for the connections to be accessed safely, without getting underneath the forms in a crush zone. Positioning connections so that the forms can be broken from the side would prevent these types of accidents
