Investigation Summary
On July 9, 2010, Employee #1 was leveling off construction debris in a dumpster. The dumpster was located directly underneath a chute system, which was attached to a 10 story building under renovation. As he worked within the dumpster, a coworker dropped a piece of cored concrete floor with an approximately diameter of 10 in. and length of 8 in. into the chute on the tenth floor. It traveled through the chute and struck Employee #1 on his right side. He sustained five broken ribs, a lacerated liver, a lacerated kidney and fluid-filled lungs. Employee #1 was transported to a medical center where he received treatment and was hospitalized.
