Abstract: At 2:00 p.m. on September 5, 2018, Employee #1 and coworkers, employed by a bridge and road construction company, were erecting steel falsework (temporary supports) for the bridge bent along a new trolley line, part of an overhead transit system. This required ensuring that the falsework, which was raised by crane and consisted of dozens of parts, was plumb. Employee #1 accessed a work area to assist in the process of plumbing up the falsework. This area was identified as hazardous by the employer because of the potential for falling objects. A wood spreader measuring 4 inches by 8 inches by 5 feet, which was positioned between two sets of falsework during the plumbing process, fell from the bottom flange of a falsework beam and struck Employee #1. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital, where he was admitted for treatment of fractures to his neck and back.
