Event: 04/13/2000

Employee sustains contusions in two falls

Employee #1, age 17, of Vodicka, a secondary subcontractor, was working on the third-story balcony of a building. A coworker employed by Bolte, a primary subcontractor, had removed a nailed 4 by 8 sheet of plywood and did not secure it after finishing his job. Employee #1 went out onto the balcony, stepped on the edge of the plywood, and fell through the joists. He dropped 10 ft onto the second-story balcony, and then fell another 10 ft to the ground. He sustained contusions and was transported to the hospital, where he was checked and then released that same day.
