Employee Is Injured in Fall from Third Story Building

On January 6, 2007, an employee and coworkers were erecting walls on the third story of a commercial building. The employee was carrying 2-ft by 6-ft panels for other coworkers to erect the walls. The employee and coworkers had the second wall section on the north side of the building finished and ready for installation. The foreman for the company was on the phone with the owner and noticed the employee walking towards the edge of the unguarded floor edge. He then saw him trip and fall over the side of the building. The employee fell 36 feet and suffered a collapsed lung, a broken pelvis, and broken ribs. He was hospitalized.
