Abstract: At approximately 1:30 p.m. on June 18, 1999, Employee #1 was working on the second floor of a single-family dwelling under construction. He was cutting plywood for coworkers installing sheathing on the roof. He then went to the first floor and drank a soda while standing beside an open-sided stairway. The stairway did not have guardrails installed along the sides and ends, and Employee #1 fell approximately 10 ft through the opening onto a concrete floor. He sustained a head injury and was transported to the hospital, where he died the next day.
