Abstract: At 4:30 p.m. on December 11, 2019, an employee was completing the installation of an L-shaped wall panel. The employee was on the boom lift waiting for another panel to be erected. The newly installed panel began to shift away from the structure and the area was evacuated as the panel collapsed to the ground. The panel struck the left side of the boom lift, causing the lift to rebound sporadically. The employee's left side of his abdomen struck against the lift's guardrail and platform. The employee suffered a partially collapsed left lung, fractured the 5th and 6th ribs on his left side, and was hospitalized.
