Abstract: On January 23, 2010, Employee #1, a supervisor, and three other employees were installing air handler units on a third floor mezzanine during a building remodeling project. Employee #1 was about 12 in. from an unguarded edge using a "Jaw Breaker" wheeled pry bar to raise an air handler. He intended to place a 2 in. galvanized pipe under the air handler to be used as a roller. When the pry bar slipped, Employee #1 lost his balance, fell 23 ft to a concrete surface, and was killed.
