Abstract: At approximately 9:37 a.m. on July 5, 2010, Employee #1, a framing carpenter, was working as the lead for framing crew. The employee and the crew were lifting a framed wall approximately 24 ft long with a large opening and header. He was lifting one end by himself because there was only a small amount of wall studs to lift it onto. The other employees lifted the other end of the wall where there were more wall studs to grab. When the other employees lifted their end, the end opposite of the employee, the weight of the wall shifted towards the employee and he experienced back pain. Employee #1 was hospitalized for six days for his back injury.
