Employee falls and fractures leg when balcony collapses

At 9:30 a.m. on October 5, 2017, Employee #1 and Coworkers #1 and #2, employed by a construction company, were deconstructing a condemned balcony on a residential building. They were searching for a solid anchor point for attaching a fall protection anchor. Employee #1 moved from a ladder to the balcony surface to assess its structural integrity. The balcony collapsed. Employee #1 fell, struck an air conditioning unit, and then hit the concrete surface, a fall height of approximately 10 feet. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for a leg fracture.
