Abstract: On September 22, 2017, Employee #1 and Coworker #1, employed by a construction company, were working inside a shaft of a commercial building that was being constructed. Due to an apparent equipment failure, a raised platform that they were keeping level, dropped down the shaft. This caused walk boards of a catwalk inside the shaft to loosen and fall. The boards struck Employee #1. Employee #1 sustained severe bruising to his right arm, shoulder, ribs, and hip. He was not hospitalized.
