Investigation Summary
At 11:15 on July 9, 2019, an employee working as a construction laborer for a building contractor was fireproofing an elevator shaft of a multi-family residential building. The employee was using a 24-foot extension ladder between the first and second stories to fireproof a void in between the second story wall and the elevator shaft. As the employee was helping maneuver a piece of drywall between the studs, he lost his footing. The employee fell feet first nearly 17 feet to the concrete floor below. The employee fractured the calcaneus bone in both feet and was hospitalized.
