Abstract: Employee #1 and a coworker were instructed to erect a temporary platform on the superstructure supporting a large steel hopper for use in chapping the corrosion from the steel beams underneath the hopper. They erected two scaffolds, each consisting of channel iron bearers with two 2 by 10 planks, and then began the chipping work on the beams above them. Employee #1 left his scaffold and was walking out onto a 6 in. wide beam when he slipped and fell, striking his head on a large metal dryer before falling to the ground. He was killed. Employee #1 and his coworker were not using any form of fall protection.
