Investigation Summary

At 11:30 a.m. on January 31, 2018, Employee #1 and a coworker, employed by a construction company, were working at a one-story residential building project. Employee #1 was climbing onto the top of a wall to install his fall protection anchor strap to a truss. A coworker was operating a crane from which was suspended an adjacent truss that measured 46 feet by 5 feet. As the coworker positioned the suspended truss, it broke in half, and one half of the truss struck Employee #1. Employee #1 was knocked to the floor. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for a severe left hand bone bruise, a torn left shoulder rotator cuff, three fractured ribs, and a left lung hematoma.
