Abstract: Employee #1, age 20, was cleaning the third floor at a courthouse construction project. He was leaning against a 3/8 in. diameter rope perimeter guardrail spanning 25 ft between a 1 3/4 in. diameter steel washer welded to a column and a 3/8 in. think angle iron vertical stanchion. He was taking a smoking break and warming up in the sun when he fell 34 ft, striking the first floor concrete porch roof feet on the way down and landing in a dumpster on the ground. He sustained two fractured heels, a fractured right ankle and a fractured right thumb. The cause of the accident was an inadequate weld on the washer; this caused the attachment point to fail, when Employee #1 leaned against the guardrail.
