| At approximately 12:30 p.m. on March 27, 2013, Employee #1, a foreman, was inspecting the sheeted roof of a two story residential single family home that was under construction. The employee was wearing a full body harness with a lanyard. The lanyard was connected to a 0.5 in. in diameter by 50-ft long rope. The other end of the rope was double-wrapped around vertical wood studs and connected back on to itself and served as an anchorage point. As the employee was walking to untie the rope, a sheet of plywood broke and he fell approximately 14 ft to the concrete garage floor. Employee #1 was transported to Urgent Care then to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for a back fracture. Employee #1 remained hospitalized for more than twenty-four hours. | |||||||
