Investigation Summary
At 2:20 p.m. on July 15, 2019, an employee was installing decking and was working while standing on a roof truss. The employee lost his footing and fell approximately twenty-one feet. The employee was wearing personal fall protection which included a full body harness, a D-Ring extension, a retractable lanyard, and a beam anchor clamp. After falling, the device caught and stopped his fall, but apparently the force of this then made the D-ring extension threading fail and it broke. The employee then free-fell approximately 27 feet to the concrete floor below. The employee was hospitalized to treat the following: right leg fractured in 3 places, right knee shattered, fractures to front of skull/forehead, broken nose, five teeth were busted out, and numerous facial lacerations.
