Employee Dies After Fall From Elevation

At approximately 1:30 p.m. on April 11, 2003, Employee #1 was working as a laborer. He was assigned to move scaffolding boards from level three to level four. He removed a flooring board to use as a toe board. As he was moving to hand the board up to level four, he stepped into the hole that he had just created and fell to the ground hitting his head on the cross connectors twice on his way down. He was transported to Ft. Campbell Hospital and transferred to Vanderbilt Medical Center for treatment. Employee #1 was unconscious when he was reached by other employees and never regained consciousness. Employee #1 was removed from life support on Monday April 14, 2003 and died two days later.
