Abstract: At approximately 8:45 a.m. on September 4, 2015, an employee was on structural steel. He was waiting for a joist to be hoisted and placed so he could connect it. The crane operator was moving a bundle of decking. The bundle of decking was inside the building 'footprint'. The crane operator was going to move the decking bundle out of the way to facilitate installation of bridging by another connector in an aerial lift. The crane hit a truss to which the employee was tied off. The truss fell and caused the employee to fall. The employee struck the ground and may also have struck the girder that fell. The employee suffered from massive blunt trauma to the head and other body parts and was killed.
