Event: 07/13/2005

Employee Sustains Lacerations When Struck by Falling Column

On July 13, 2005, Employee #1 was laying the first floor of a home, when his supervisor noticed that the floor and its supporting I-beam were not flush and level. The supervisor sent Employee #1 down to the basement to raise the I-beam by turning the support column or post that was underneath the beam. When Employee #1 turned the post to raise the beam, he took the weight of the beam and floor off a nearby second support column. The weight had been holding the second column in place, and without that weight, the column fell, striking Employee #1 in the head. He sustained lacerations to his scalp. He was not hospitalized. He was back at work the next day.
