At 9:00 a.m. on November 24, 2020, Employee #1 and coworkers, employed by a scaf fold company, were dismantling a five-level stair tower scaffold at the construc tion site for a new commercial building. They were on the scaffold's fifth leve l, where guardrails had been removed as part of the dismantling process. Employ ee #1 fell, a fall height of 54 feet. Emergency services transported the employ ee to the hospital, where he was declared dead. The subsequent investigation de termined that the employer had a 100% tie-off policy for employees working at 6 feet or higher. Employee #1 had been wearing a full body harness and double se lf-retracting lanyards attached to the harness. Employee #1, for unknown reason , had apparently removed his lanyards from an anchor point and thus was unprotec ted when he fell.
