Abstract: At 12:45 p.m. on November 16, 2018, Employee #1 and coworkers, employed by a construction company, were engaged in framing operations for a new residential structure, a multiemployer project. Employee #1 was setting beams working from the top plate of the first floor walls, while nearby coworkers were using a piece of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) to move materials onto the first floor walls for the floor sheathing. As Employee #1 moved to exit the work area, he attempted to use the OSB as a runway to cross the corridor. The OSB collapsed, and Employee #1 fell, a fall height of approximately 9 feet. He struck his head against the wood framed wall during the fall. Emergency services transported Employee #1 to the hospital, where he was treated for a head concussion and a fractured clavicle/collarbone.
