Employee injured from fall

On February 17, 2004, Employee #1, a worker at a steel construction company, was assisting in the setting of a steel column. The column had been bolted with anchor bolts and raised into position, using a forklift. Employee #1 climbed a nearby ladder and got onto the column to unlock the lifting line. For some reason, the anchor bolts pulled out of the footing and the column fell over, causing Employee #1 to jump off the column and land on top of the forklift. He was transported to a local hospital and diagnosed with a cracked sternum, which no treatment exists.
