Employee sustains multiple fractures in fall

At 4:30 p.m. on January 13, 2021, Employee #1 and a coworker were working at height and preparing to install a framed wall for a three-story multifamily residential structure. Both were wearing fall protection, but there was excess slack in their lifelines. The coworker lost his balance, and both employees fell into an unguarded stairwell. Employee #1 fell 15 feet and struck a landing. He required hospitalization for injuries that included fractures to four ribs, a thumb, a foot, and part of his face. The coworker also fell, but from a different anchor point, and his fall arrest system caught him. He struck the ground but with reduced force, and he did not sustain injuries.
