Narrative

An employee was walking in a construction area to retrieve a grinder and his tools when a rolled false form collapsed, causing a generator, wood forms, and the employee to fall about 16 feet to the level below. The generator struck the employee's lower leg during the fall, fracturing it. The employee was hospitalized and required surgery to their tibia.
