Abstract: On December 13, 1994, Employee #1 was removing a wooden keyway from the east wall of an elevator shaft at a height of approximately 12 feet above the cement bottom of the shaft. Employee #1 was standing on the #6 rebar and was tied-off to a 4 to 5 ft length of #6 reinforcing steel dowel rod that was unsecured at one end. As Employee #1 repositioned himself to better remove the keyway, his safety hook slipped off the end of the steel dowel rod. He fell approximately 12 ft to the concrete floor, glancing off of a fellow employee as he fell. Employee #1 received a minor bruise/abrasion and returned to work the following day.
