Stairwell Road- Murphy Tease, a 51 year old riveter, was injured at 11 am this morning after falling forty feet into concrete at a furniture warehouse construction site.
Tease was passed out upon the arrival of the ambulance and was rushed to st. luke's hospital. He suffered a broken arm, broken ribs, fractured his leg, and had a concussion. Tease is now in satisfactory condition.
Murphy was said to have lost his balance due to a gust of wind. According to the other workers last nights rain fall had made the beams slippery and it was very windy as well.
The Bomasso Engineering Co., the company Tease was working for, was given a violation last week from the city building department stating the need to install safety lines that would prevent situations like these from occurring. The company however ignored the violation and no lines were installed.
