Abstract: At 8:30 a.m. on February 8, 2017, an employee and his coworkers installed a concrete storm water management riser in a water retention pond. The footing for a 2-foot, tall riser was poured, and the formwork was then installed for the riser's side walls and supports. A double (2 inch by 4 inch) horizontal walers with vertical "stiffback" boards for bracing was installed. After the employee stood, on a 3 1/2 inch wide "waler", he then slipped and fell 10 feet down to a mud and gravel surface, landing on his feet and back. Afterwards, the employee sustained 2 fractured ribs and a back injury. He was hospitalized and then released the next day.
