One end of the board was on the window ledge and tied in place. Employee #1 walked out and straddled the 2 ft wide ledge, untied the board, and passed it over to one of the other employees. After the board was clear of the ledge and the stairway opening, Employee #1 fell approximately 12 ft to the concrete floor. He died.
