Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on August 15, 2009, Employee #1, a superintendent ironworker, was aligning a piece of structural steel at height of approximately 28 ft, atop the south side of the newly constructed Lowes hardware store. Employee #1 connected and welded in place several of the T-irons. When he was aligning another T iron, he lost his footing and fell 28 ft to the outer side of the building. Employee #1 landed in the dirt on his back and fractured his two ribs. Emergency Medical Services were notified, and paramedics arrived on scene several minutes later. Employee #1 was then transported to the John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, Virginia for treatment. He was hospitalized for more than 24 hours.
