Investigation Summary
At 2:00 p.m. on August 8, 2006, Employee #1 was working as a foreman for Morley Construction, a firm that did concrete work, at a jobsite in Los Angeles, CA. The project he was on was a poured-in-place concrete, four-story dormitory on a college campus. The project was nearly complete. In the dormitory, there were some three-foot diameter holes that were covered and labeled appropriately. Employee #1, though, did not think that the writing on one of the covers was legible enough. He was going to turn it over and label the other side, which was cleaner. As he tried to turn the cover over, he slipped on the edge of the hole and fell six feet to the bottom, sustaining a compound fracture of his left ankle. He was hospitalized.
