Abstract: Employee #1 and coworkers were approximately 35 ft above the next adjacent level, laying metal decking on a structural steel building. This required them to retrieve sheets of metal decking and to drag the sheets over 50 ft, while walking backward on top of a 3 to 4 in. wide bar joist. Employee #1 slipped on the already installed decking and fell onto compacted rock. He died two days later as a result of his injuries. Oil placed on the sheet decking from the manufacturer created a slippery surface, and the employees were not wearing any type of fall protection.
