Employee injured in fall through floor opening

Employee #1 and a subcontractor were cutting and enlarging an opening in a concrete floor. When the job was complete, Employee #1 helped the subcontractor place two plywood hole cover panels over the opening. After the subcontractor left the area, Employee #1 picked up a third plywood panel from the floor and stepped into the opening underneath it. He fell approximately 13 ft and landed on a scissor lift stored one floor below. Employee #1 later stated that he thought the third panel was to be used as a barricade and did not know that it was covering a floor opening.
