Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was on a 5 ft high elevated work platform using a hydrotorque wrench. When he stepped on a displaced piece of plywood and fell, the wrench struck him on the cheek. Employee #1 was hospitalized for less than 24 hours. Because the platform was only 5 ft high it did not require handrails or midrails (1621(a)). In addition, construction employees are not required to wear safety belts with lanyards attached when the fall distance is less than 7 1/2 ft (1670(a)).
