Abstract: At 7:00 p.m. on July 6, 2017, Employee #1 and approximately three coworkers, employed by a construction company, were installing concrete forms for a 12-story building construction project. As they lifted and set into place the concrete forms, the temperature on the jobsite was approximately 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The work crew took their normal breaks inside an air conditioned trailer in the morning, at lunch, and in the afternoon. The company also provided water and other fluids and encouraged their employees to drink as much as they needed. After his work shift ended and while at home, Employee #1 felt ill. His wife transported him to the hospital. Employee #1 was admitted and treated for dehydration and a 50 percent reduction in kidney function.
