Tampa, FL (April 23, 2025) – A workplace injury occurred today at a construction site in Tampa, Florida, when a worker was struck by falling debris. The incident, which took place around 10:30 a.m., occurred as the worker was performing routine duties on a multi-story building under construction.
Initial reports indicate that a piece of equipment being used to move materials caused a load of heavy debris to fall from an upper level, striking the worker below. The worker, a 29-year-old man, sustained injuries to his head and shoulders and was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The construction site management has reported that they are reviewing safety protocols to ensure such incidents are prevented in the future. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has been notified, and an investigation is likely to determine if any safety violations contributed to the incident.
