Abstract: At 9:30 a.m. on December 10, 2018, an employee stood on the top plate of framing on the third level of new construction to attach hardware to the walls using a nail gun. The area was misty, wet that morning, which created slippery conditions on the framing. As the employee walked on the top plate, the employee slipped and fell approximately nine feet. The employee received a compound fracture to the right leg and was hospitalized for surgery to treat the injury.
