Final narrative
An employee was working to hang/support a pipe running vertically through a ceiling for a plumbing vent. A section of plywood had been laid perpendicularly across several ceiling joists to provide access to the work area. The employee was positioning himself to work a channel strut into place to support the pipe when he fell 9 feet from the ceiling trusses to the concrete floor. He sustained fractures to lumbar vertebrae and was hospitalized. Fall protection was not in place at the time.
