Employee fractures leg and foot in fall from beam

At approximately 9:10 a.m. on July 16, 2007, Employee #1, of National Metal Fabricators, was on a steel beam, using a TC gun to tighten bolts. His foot apparently rolled on an electrical cord and he lost his balance, falling 16 ft 7 in. to the ground. Employee #1 landed on his feet, sustaining fractures to his heel, foot, ankle, and leg. An electrician/coworker heard Employee #1 yell, saw him on the ground, and called Emergency Services. The Fire Department transported Employee #1 to Valley Medical Center, where he was treated and released that evening.
