Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was working on the third floor of a four-story wood frame building under construction. He was placing metal straps on framing members when a coworker, who was applying plywood shear panels to the exterior wall studs, asked Employee #1 to nail the plywood panels while he held them in place. Employee #1 worked his body between the 2 by 4 studs and leaned outside the building to nail in the panels. The stud that Employee #1 was leaning on pulled loose at the bottom plate, causing him to fall to the ground. He fractured both ankles and was hospitalized for treatment.
