Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on May 15, 2006, Employee #1, sprinkler fitter with Western Fire Protection, was working in a four-story, wood-framed apartment building under construction. He was inspecting the fourth floor for a future sprinkler installation. The building contained a 30-inch wide trash chute that extended up to all four floors. The wood cover at the fourth floor level was not adequately secured. As the employee stepped onto the wood cover, it slipped out from under him and he fell through the chute approximately 10 feet to the floor below. He suffered a back injury and was hospitalized.
