Abstract: On February 13, 2003, Employee #1, a window washer, climbed from the roof onto a parapet, and was positioning himself to continue cleaning the windows on the side of a hospital building. He had on his boatswain's chair, but had not secured himself to the line that would support him. There was no independent lifeline to which he could secure himself. While on the parapet, he apparently lost his balance and fell approximately 62 ft. He was declared dead at the scene.
