## Narrative

On Monday, September 14, 2020, at approximately 10:40 AM, employees were setting precast concrete wall panels (45' x 12'). A lift was used to pickup braces. The frame of the lift contacted a wall brace causing a concrete panel to fall. As the panel fell, it struck a manlift that was being used to install braces. As the manlift fell, it struck the lift causing an employee in the manlift to be ejected. He was wearing a personal fall arrest harness at the time. The employee sustained a fractured right femur and fractured ribs and was hospitalized.
