Investigation Summary
At 9:30 a.m. on August 8, 2017, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was engaged in concrete work at a multiemployer construction project, a sewer/water treatment plant. While moving laterally and repositioning himself on top of a steel and concrete form, Employee #1 slipped off the form and fell to the concrete floor, a fall height of 16 feet. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, admitted, and treated for fractures to his skull, hip, and wrist.
