Narrative

Three employees were constructing a dugout in a baseball stadium. They were on top of the dugout, laying decking down. One of the employees picked up a panel and a gust of wind took him and blew him off the dugout roof. He fell 10 feet, landing on a pile of packed dirt and breaking his hip. Fall protection was not being worn at the time.
