Pictures from Chopper 11 HD showed workers putting the man onto a backboard before lifting him up to a waiting ambulance.
According to reports from the scene, the man was conscious, but complaining of back pain.
The project manager says the man was wearing a harness, but lost his footing and fell down the shaft.
The construction site is for Winsor Manor. A Website for the project describes it as a mid-rise apartment building.
