Investigation Summary
At 2:45 p.m. on July 9, 2018, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was working at a two-story water treatment plant. To retrieve a water nozzle, he climbed a ladder onto the roof deck. After retrieving the water nozzle, he stepped on a piece of plywood covering the stairway opening. The plywood flipped down, and the employee fell through the opening, a fall height of 15 feet, and struck the concrete floor. He was transported to the hospital, admitted, and treated for fractures to his wrist and pelvis.
