Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:55 a.m. on June 22, 2017, Employee #1 was working at a construction site and assisting in the laying down of rebar to prepare for the concrete pour. He was an apprentice iron worker in charge of tying and packing rebar, housekeeping and assisting the journeyman iron workers throughout the working deck on the eight floor. The weather report that day claimed the temperature was approximately 80°F. Employee #1 started to report symptoms of muscle cramps, thirst and dizziness. He was sitting, hunched over and taking a break when his immediate supervisor noticed him near their gang box. Employee #1 reported his symptoms with a little nausea in addition. The supervisor advised him to go down one story to the seventh floor in the shade and drink more fluids. The supervisor waited to make sure he was capable of climbing down the ladder and monitored his descent, assigning one other employee to watch from below. While resting in the shade, the supervisor contacted a safety specialist as well as the senior safety manager. The senior safety manager came to monitor Employee #1 and the safety specialist called back to say that their private medical services were unavailable to come to the site, and directed him to the nearby clinic. The time between Employee #1's onset of symptoms and reaching the urgent care clinic was estimated at 1 hour and 20 minutes. At the urgent care clinic, he received treatment for heat exhaustion and was released that same day.
