Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on December 20, 1994, Employee #1 was installing sub-flooring on the 2nd floor of a townhouse under construction. He placed a half sheet of 4 ft by 8 ft by 3/4 in. tongue and groove plywood sub-flooring (4 by 4 feet square) on the perimeter beam and the next two successive floor joists from the south side of the 2nd floor. Employee #1 then stepped onto this 4 by 4 ft square sheet of plywood to nail it in place. Employee #1 had placed construction glue on the two floor joists, but either the plywood slipped off the second joist or Employee #1 had not placed the plywood squarely on the joist. He fell 9 ft 4 in. to the first floor and struck his head on the concrete slab floor, causing severe head injuries. There were no witnesses to the accident; however, another employee did see Employee #1 fall. Employee #1's fellow workers telephoned rescue units, but did not wait for their arrival. The fellow workers picked up Employee #1, placed him in an automobile, and drove him to the hospital emergency room. Employee #1 died.
