Narrative

On July 10, 2023, an employee was conducting a safety walkthrough at a construction site when he noticed a fan was lying horizontally. When he picked it up to move it, he fell through a 30-inch wide opening and landed 25 feet below on the floor of a steam vault resulting in broken ribs, a broken spine, and swollen legs.
