Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:15 a.m. on January 5, 2013, Employee #1, a carpenter employed by Weslar Inc., was working at a residential construction site. He was performing the duties of a framer, including raising studs on the second floor. The employee was attempting to retrieve a 2-foot by 4-foot piece of lumber that was going to be used as a top plate when he fell approximately 10 feet 3 inches through the opening on a garage overhang to the concrete floor below. The employee was transported to Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, hospitalized, and treated for fractures to his pelvis and spine. Both the Los Angeles Fire Department and the employer notified Cal/OSHA of this event on January 5, 2013. Cal/OSHA's inspection, which began on February 13, 2013, determined that the overhang's opening was sheeted on the underside with half-inch plywood, but the plywood was not intended to guard the opening. The supervisor was not in the immediate vicinity when the fall occurred.
