51 year old Murphy Tease suffered serious injuries after falling 40ft while working on a construction site on the Stairwell Road at 11am this morning.
Tease broke his right arm, three ribs, his left leg and sustained a concussion from the incident.
The Bomasso Engineering Co. site, on which Tease had been working, had been ordered by the city’s building department to install safety beams for workers, and were last week issued with a violation for the absence of safety beams. At the time of Tease’s accident, no such safety beams had been fitted.
Tease, who was unconscious when abulances from St. Lukes’ Hospital arrived on the scene, was knocked off balance by a gust of wind. Slippery poles from last night's rainstorm also increased the safety-hazard of the site.
Nurses at the hospital said that Tease was now in a satisfactory condition.
