Abstract: At 4:00 p.m. on January 7, 2019, Employee #1 and a coworker, employed by a construction company, were engaged in framing work for a new two-story multifamily residential building. They were setting floor trusses in place at the top of the first floor in preparation for beginning work on the second floor. Employee #1, who had unhooked from his fall protection system in order to reach his out-of-reach nail gun, was about to reattach his fall protection gear when he fell and struck the concrete floor. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital, where he was admitted and treated for a fractured right elbow.
