Employee Fractures Back in Fall from Attic to Floor

At approximately 11:30 a.m. on February 10, 2004, Employee #1, a regular employee of Mark Dattelo's Heating and Air Conditioning, was inside the attic, near the 35-in. by 30-in. attic opening, instructing a coworker how to run a vent from the heating furnace to the roof. He had to go down and get a reducer. As Employee #1 approached the attic opening, he had one foot on the truss and the other one on a 2 by 4 wooden block. The wooden block gave way, causing Employee #1 to fall 9 ft onto the cement floor. Employee #1 fractured his back and was taken to Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California, where he was hospitalized for 6 days. Employee #1 was not wearing personal fall protection when he fell. The coworker was not injured. The employer is a HVAC contractor.
