Narrative

An employee was putting up blocking in trusses during construction of a restaurant. When the employee moved to a new blocking area, he stepped onto a 2 x 4 truss bridge. The fasteners holding the truss bridge pulled out, causing the employee to fall 10 feet onto an upright 8-foot ladder and then onto an air tank. The employee sustained a broken right forearm.
