Abstract: On December 29, 1999, Employee #1, an installer for a security alarm company, entered a house under construction through the ground-level garage and stepped onto a styrofoam insulation panel that he thought was debris on the floor. However, the panel was covering a stairway opening to the lower, sub-ground level of the split-level home. Employee #1 fell 9 ft down the opening and sustained multiple contusions and abrasions. The stairway opening was not adequately guarded or covered. Installers, such as Employee #1, normally do not use blueprints and he did not realize the home had multiple levels.
