Investigation Summary
On August 26, 2003, a construction employee who was working on a hospital addition project went on top of an elevator penthouse to move a 4-ft by 8-ft plywood board. He was unaware that the plywood covered a 30-in. by 36-in. roof opening, which had been cut the previous day. When he picked up the plywood, he stepped into the opening and fell approximately 40 ft down the elevator shaft, landing on the shaft floor. The employee died at the scene.
