Investigation Summary
At 8:45 a.m. on March 25, 2013, Employee #1 and 13 coworkers, employed by a subcontractor at a multiemployer residential construction project, were performing carpentry outside the structure. They were attempting to raise a wall of oversized lumber. The wall was 18 feet long and 20 feet high. As they raised the wall, it became hung up on an adjacent wall. Unable to lower the wall back to ground level, and unable to support its excessive weight, the employees decided to let it drop while running to framed out windows to avoid being struck. Employee #1 was unable to avoid the falling wall. It struck the back of his head and shoulder. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated, but he died the following day from his injuries.
