Investigation Summary
Around 9:00 a.m. on June 29, 2005, Employee #1, a 48-year-old carpenter, was working from joists at a large framing company. He was performing a regularly assigned task of passing a block to his coworkers to assist them in blocking joist. Employee #1 was standing next to staged joists. This was a temporary storage location, where joists would be later retrieved and set at their final location. With the beam at the center of the joist as the fulcrum, one end of the joist rotated downward and the other end rotated upward. The joist struck Employee #1 causing him to lose his balance and fall 11 ft 10 in. to the concrete. Employee #1 injured his right leg and was transported to the Providence St. Joseph Medical Center, where he had the surgery. He remained at the hospital for 10 days.
