On December 9, 1998, Employee #1, an iron worker for a structural steel erector working at a movie theater construction site, was struck by one of four bar joists (approximately 50 ft long by 2 ft tall) that fell about 30 ft from the roof installation. The joists, about 6-ft center, did not have bridging installed between them to resist the lateral movement caused by a load was placed on them by a crane. This oversight caused the joists to tip and fall when two bundles of decking were placed upon them. Employee #1 was hospitalized for his injuries.
