Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:15 a.m. on March 14, 2017, workers on site were erecting form work for concrete to be poured at a later date. An employee was standing on a single section ladder, approximately 8 feet above a concrete slab, which it was leaning against the form work. The employee was standing on the ladder then attached his "belly hook" connected to his fall harness onto a wood section of 2 by 4 that was in place as bracing for the form. A coworker was standing on top of the form work keeping pressure down on plywood that the employee was attempting to screw together from below. The employee leaned out away from the ladder with his weight bearing on the "belly hook" and the wood brace which then failed. The brace broke free causing the employee to fall towards the concrete below striking another cross brace in the process. The employee landed face down on the concrete slab and sustained facial and head injuries. The employee was hospitalized and treated for his injuries.
