Abstract: At approximately 1:36 p.m. on March 26, 2001, Employee #1, a new construction laborer for Accurate Companies, suffered a serious laceration on his left arm from a falling metal stud. Employee #1 was coming from a lunch break to pick up his tools where he had placed them near a wall. The wall had been cut in two pieces. The bottom section had been removed and the upper section was being held by metal studs. The upper section was cut a foot wide and six feet fall. Since the wall was not secured, the wall came down on its own and landed on Employee #1. Employee #1 also acknowledged the presence of a ladder near the wall. However, the metal stud on the wall lacerated his arm. His employer failed to adequately conduct a safety check and survey the work site prior to initiating any work. Employee #1 went to a local hospital for treatment.
