Abstract: At 3:00 p.m. on July 9, 2019, an employee working for a framing contractor was working from roofing rafters. The employee apparently used cut out triangle shaped pieces (unsecured boards) to walk to the edge of the 2nd deck level. The deck joists were on 16-inch on center with 14 inches of clearance. The employee fell between the deck joists to a lower deck level approximately 12 feet below. The employee sustained severe head trauma when he either hit the upper deck, lower deck or both and was hospitalized.
