Workers were in the process of putting steel decking and pouring concrete. They needed to finish the wall before putting final decking for the opening in which the employee fell through. The employee landed on both hands and fractured his nose and cheek bones. An opening at the job site needed to be sufficiently guarded to prevent accidental falling through.
