Employee Is Injured by Falling Sheetrock

At approximately 9:45 a.m. on July 29, 2008, Employee #1 was applying fire caulking to existing conduits, pipes and ductwork. He moved a temporary power cord which was in the way of his ladder.

It struck a wall and the sheetrock fell over. Employee #1's left leg or foot was fractured when it was struck and trapped by the sheetrock. He was hospitalized for treatment of his fracture.
