Abstract: At 9:30 a.m. on August 6, 2019, Employees #1 and #2, employed by a framing contractor, were working at a construction project for a new residence. They were on the second floor deck of the residence and unstrapping a load of exterior wall panels weighing approximately 250 pounds each. A gust of wind lifted two wall panels. One struck Employee #1, knocking him down and pinning him to the working surface. The other wall panel struck Employee #2, who fell to ground level. Both employees required hospitalization, Employee #1 for a fractured collarbone, and Employee #2 for multiple fractured ribs.
