Employee's leg fractured in fall from form wall

Employee #1, a construction carpenter for JR Construction, had fastened a positioning belt around the vertical support of a form wall on which he was working. He then began connecting the second lanyard for a two-point descent from the wall, but before he could connect the second lanyard, the positioning belt broke. Employee #1 fell approximately 16 ft, suffering a fractured ankle and a sprained wrist. He had inspected the belt in the morning before he used it and had not observed any defects.
