Abstract: At 12:50 p.m. on August 20, 2018, Employees #1 and a coworker, employed by a construction company, were engaged in carpentry work for a new multifamily residential building. They were adjusting wood panels on an unfinished floor. Employee #1 was standing on a wood panel in between two joists. The coworker lifted/removed that panel, and Employee #1 fell, what could have been an 18-foot fall. However, Employee #1's fall protection system, including his harness, worked to break his fall. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he was admitted for treatment of pain to his left side.
