Narrative

An employee was installing drywall for pre-rock on the third floor ceiling of a hallway. As the employee was removing his stilts, he stepped back and the stilts came out from underneath him. The stilts were set for approximately 18 when he fell. He went to catch himself and his hand contacted the raw edge of a C-H stud, lacerating his left wrist through the tendons. The employee underwent surgery.
