Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:30 a.m. on May 27, 1987, Employee #1 was preparing to cut a bolt on an angle iron brace that attached a building cove outside strut to a roof purlin at the building frame. He was standing spread-eagled, straddling the 4 ft between the cove strut and roof purlin. When he cut the bolt free, the cove strut moved out 8 ft, and he fell 20 ft to a concrete slab on the ground. Employee #1 sustained a broken neck and died three months after his fall.
