Abstract: At 12:30 p.m. on April 26, 2018, Employee #1, employed by a concrete contractor, was working at a multiemployer construction project, a six-story multifamily residential structure. He was cutting an opening in a concrete wall. The floor next to the wall opening became wet and slippery due to the wet concrete cutting process. As Employee #1 attempted to remove a wood pallet holding concrete debris from the cutting, he lost balance, slipped, fell through the wall opening, a fall height of 9.5 feet, and struck the first-level parking deck. Emergency services transported him to the hospital, where he was admitted and treated for multiple rib fractures.
