Abstract: At approximately 11:40 a.m. on June 17, 1992, Employee #1 attempted to descend an 80 ft ladder that accessed a wind turbine generator. Employee #1 slipped or fell from the ladder and was killed. Employee #1 was wearing his company furnished safety belt, but the safety lanyards were not attached. Both lanyards were later discovered attached to their tie-off connection at the top of the turbine generator. With reasonable diligence, the employer would not have known of the violation, thus only a general citation was issued.
