Final narrative
An employee was cleaning her workstation and organizing her files when a section of the acoustical ceiling (tiles and grid), adjacent light fixtures, and portions of the plaster ceiling above suddenly collapsed due to a prolonged, concealed steam leak that weakened the fastener connections. She sustained a cut to her head, bruise to her head, scratches on her neck, a scratch to her left hand, and irritation to her right hand, requiring hospitalization.
