Abstract: At 9:45 a.m. on January 3, 2019, Employee #1 and coworkers, employed by a concrete construction company, were engaged in the construction of a multi-story parking structure for a multifamily residential project. Employee #1 was installing fall protection guardrails at the leading edge of the third floor after installation of concrete forms. The employee did not properly secure his fall protection system. As he walked to the leading edge, a concrete floor panel became loose and fell beneath him, which caused him to fall to the surface dirt, a fall height of 33 feet. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital, where he was admitted for treatment of multiple injuries that included a dislocated and fractured arm, lacerations of the head and face, and a concussion.
