Narrative

Two employees were taking cross-braces off a shoring tower and handing them to a third employee at the base of the frame. They were working from the top down, and had removed the braces from the top two sections; as they began to remove the braces from the bottom section, the tower tipped over and landed on the employee on the ground. The employee suffered three broken vertebrae and three dislocated vertebrae in the back.
