Event: 12/27/1996

Employee's leg fractured when panel falls during hoisting

Employee #1 and five coworkers, all employed by a framing contractor, were working on large single-family homes under construction in a subdivision. They were tipping from a horizontal to a vertical position an 18 ft high by 9 ft wide, 2 by 6 framed entryway panel built by the employees onsite. Three employees were on each side of the center doorway opening, pushing the framing of the panel. They had it about three-fourths of the way up when one of the coworkers moved out of position. The panel came down, striking Employee #1's right leg. He sustained a compound fracture in his lower leg that required surgery and pins. Bracing was not placed on the panel to prevent it from falling while it was being tipped up.
