The Madison Fire Department responded to two separate accidents at different construction sites Friday, according to a city news release.
At 10 a.m. a construction worker at the site for a new library on 334 W. Doty St. fell about five feet onto a roof area, according to Madison Fire Department spokesperson Bernadette Galvez.
A crane operator from Stevens Construction Corporation, the company managing the site, worked with the MFD to lower the worker, who was conscious, to the ground where he was transported to St. Mary’s Hospital, according to the statement.
An hour and half later, the MFD responded to a call at the Memorial Union construction site, where a construction worker slipped from a beam, although the man’s harness prevented him from falling to the ground.
Medics took the injured man to University of Wisconsin Hospital in an ambulance after other workers lowered him to the ground, according to the statement.
Galvez said both workers sustained non-life threatening injuries.
