Abstract: At 8:00 a.m. on May 2, 2017, an employee was removing old network protectors from a University Hospital concrete electrical system vault that was staged at the bottom of the vault. The employee was standing at the ground-level opening of the vault alongside a metal grate covering the opening and signaled a boom truck operator to pick up a 13 inch grate he had attached onto the crane's hook. The employee fell approximately 23 feet when the grate gave way as the crane started to pick up a second piece of grating. The employee suffered multiple head, facial , and extremity fractures as well as internal injuries.
