Each panel is 3' wide x 18' 6" long, and weighs approximately 30 to 35 pounds. Two panels were leaning against the wall. The employees lowered the first panel to the floor and were about to stack it, when the second panel fell and hit the injured employee s hard hat and cut his nose and cheek. The injured employee was hospitalized.
