Abstract

A spinal cord injury is caused by damage to any part of the spinal cord or entire spinal cord. It also includes damage to nerves at the end of the spinal cord, known as the cauda equina. The spinal cord helps in transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body. A spinal cord injury often causes permanent or temporary changes in strength, feeling, and other bodily functions. People may also experience mental, emotional, and social side effects. In the meantime, treatment and rehabilitation allow many people with spinal cord injuries to lead productive, independent lives. In many occupations, employees are required to work at heights. They may have to work with platforms, scaffolds, or ladders to complete a job-related task. The main risk these employees face is that they can fall to the ground because of inadequate fall protection. Employers need to take proper steps to protect their employees who work at heights to help avoid unfortunate, serious accidents. Here we discuss a 24-year-old male working on a construction site as a semi-skilled worker, while working on the ground floor sustained injury after the fall of another male person from a height landed on him. The person who fell from height survived and the person who was working on the ground succumbed to death.
