Abstract: On September 5, 2003, Employee #1 and a coworker were performing "layout work" on the 2nd floor landing, approximately 10 ft 2 in. high, plating out the walls. The process involved chalking lines indicating where the walls would be located, and marking locations for studs, corner posts, doorways, window openings on top and bottom plate. This work requires employees to work next to the edges of the floor, while lying on the plywood deck. Employee #1 was working on the south side of the second floor, when he fell off. Employee #1 fell from an area that was not protected by any means to prevent employees from falling. Employee #1's coworker was working on the northeast side when he fell. Employee #1 hit his head when he fell 10 ft 2 in. onto the concrete below. Employee #1 was taken to the hospital, where he died.
