Employee Is Injured in Fall

At 1:30 p.m. on September 30, 2002, Employee #1, a carpenter with 2 years of experience, reported to a construction site located at a school building in Valencia, CA. He told the foreman that he had finished installing trusses at a site in Palmdale, CA and that he was available to install trusses. The exterior walls of the school building had just been erected, and the foreman assigned him to a project. Employee #1 and a coworker cut the trusses to size on the ground and then began to install them. As Employee #1 was standing on a 6-inch top cap, marking and measuring the placement of the trusses, he lost his balance and fell 12 feet to the ground. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for multiple fractures.
