Employee injured in fall through stairway opening

Employee #1's company was building a two-story private residence. He had arrived on site with a load of materials and climbed the stairs to the second floor where the crew was laying a tongue and groove floor of 2 by 6s. Employee #1 had finished talking with coworkers when he stepped back and fell approximately 9 ft through the stairway opening, striking his head as he landed on a concrete pad. Coworkers could not detect a pulse and immediately started CPR, which succeeded in restarting his heart. Employee #1 was transported to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. The stairway opening was not guarded.
