Ramapo University school officials say an early morning accident inside the school’s library sent a construction worker to the hospital.

School officials confirm the worker was injured inside the library where construction work was being done.

News 12 is told workers were conducting a standard pressure test on what’s known as the chiller line on the second floor of the building when a gasket failed and struck the construction worker. 

The worker was immediately taken to Hackensack University Medical Center. News 12 is told first responders, along with contractors, shut down construction until OSHA officials could conduct an assessment.

There is no update on the worker’s condition or identity.

There are no other injuries, and college operations are continuing as normal.
