Abstract: Employee #1 was disassembling a concrete form for a vertical column which had the rebar already in position. Employee #1 climbed the column while tied off to one of the anchor points with a retractable braking line attached to a full body harness. Employee #1 proceeded to disconnect the former braces, and when one fell, it released the portion where Employee #1 had tied off. It began to fall pulling him off the structure. Employee #1 fell approximately 20 ft to the ground sustaining serious, but not permanent contusions, sprains, and abrasions. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he was treated and released.
