Construction worker injured in fall at Lancaster County school, officials say

A construction worker was airlifted for medical treatment after being hurt in a fall at a Lancaster County school construction site, officials said.

The incident is the second in about a month at the construction site at Andrew Jackson High School.

The latest incident happened Thursday, a few minutes before 5 p.m., said Lancaster County Emergency Management Director Darren Player.

No other details about the worker’s name or condition were available.

The Lancaster County school district is building a multi-purpose room at the school in Kershaw, in southern Lancaster County.

On Oct. 9, a steel worker at the site was airlifted after falling.

The Occupational Safety and health Administration is continuing to investigate, said Lesia Kudelka , spokesperson for the S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation.

OSHA investigators are looking at Thursday incident to determine if a second OSHA investigation is warranted, Kudelka said.
