Investigation Summary

He climbed down a column to the fourth level and crossed the horizontal to the east, outside column, where a wedge was still in place from aligning the beam he was walking on. He started to step around the outside column to free the wedge, mis-stepped, and fell 50 ft to the concrete base. Employee #1 was killed. He had not hooked his lanyard. Engineers and a safety director that were present attested to the distance of the fall.
