Narrative

On October 4, 2017, at 3:00 p.m., an employee was using a tape measurer to measure a warehouse roof vent hole where the vent cover structure had been removed to place decking material. The tape measurer then fell onto the retrofitted drywall vent cover. The employee was trying to recover the tape measurer when the drywall collapsed and he fell 28 feet to the floor of the warehouse, fracturing his right hip, left foot, right cheek, and lumbar spine. He was hospitalized and had surgery.
