Employee's Leg Is Broken in Fall from Elevated Plank

At 12:25 p.m. on May 29, 2008, Employee #1 was at a property work site, measuring a column base to ensure it was ready for erection of a steel column the next day. The foundation for the back of the house was at grade level. The foundation for the front (living room) of the house was about four feet below grade. In order to check the steel column base behind the front (living room) wall, Employee #1 climbed on a wood plank that ran from grade level at the back of the house to the top of the front wall, which was at the same height as the front grade. While walking on the plank, he lost his balance and fell four feet to the front (living room) foundation. He sustained a broken right lower leg and was taken to the hospital, where he was hospitalized for three weeks due to his injury and a heart condition.
