Abstract: At 3:30 p.m. on March 6, 2009, three ironworkers were installing the middle stringer of a steel stairway. The side stringers were held in place temporarily by tack welds. The crew used a chain hoist to help fit the middle stringer. Employee #1 was on a ladder that was leaning on the same stringer. During the positioning of the middle stringer, the temporary tack welds failed. Employee #1 and the ladder fell 12 ft to the ground. While falling, he struck a stairway stringer. Employee #1 was hospitalized for treatment of injuries to his cheek and arm, including unspecified fractures.
