Abstract: At 2:15 p.m. on February 18, 2019, Employee #1, a carpenter employed by a framing contractor, was framing an addition to a hotel above the concrete swimming pool. He was standing on a wood beam that had been lifted to the roof. He was attempting to set the beam in place. The wood beam measured 10.5 inches wide, 28 inches deep, and approximately 40 feet long. The employee, who was not using any form of fall protection, lost his balance and fell from the beam to the concrete, a fall height of 15.75 feet. He struck his head on the concrete. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital. He was admitted and treated - including surgery - for blunt force traumatic brain injury.
