Investigation Summary
On January 26, 2007, Employee #1 was directed to lift some plywood while cleaning a second-story concrete deck in a parking garage. The plywood was covering a hole, it was not secure, and it was not labeled. Employee #1 fell through the 2-foot by 2-foot hole twenty-one feet to the concrete ramp below. He sustained a bruised left leg and hip. He was transported to the local hospital and released the same day. A causal factor is that the employer failed to mark and identify the hole clearly and secure the cover to prevent the fall.
