Investigation Summary
On October 12, 1991, Employee #1, a pipefitter of CPC-Pontiac Operations, responded to a steam leak with two supervisors and one other pipefitter. To see above a suspended ceiling, he followed the pipefitter supervisor as he climbed onto a shelf attached to the top rail of a standard barrier. The employee then continued to climb above the suspended ceiling and fell about 9 ft 4 in. to the cement floor. He hit his head on the floor and died two days later in the hospital, without having regained consciousness.
