## Narrative

An employee and three co-workers were working to cover a second-story deck with a fiberglass waterproofing membrane. A two-by-four wooden plank was placed between the second-story deck under construction across to an adjacent second-story deck to walk back and forth between the decks via the plank. The employee attempted to walk the plank when the plank snapped and he fell approximately 10 feet to the ground, striking his chest on lower deck framing before hitting the ground. The employee suffered a chest injury and broken ribs.
