Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was sitting on a partially dismantled stairwell and, with his feet, was guiding a new staircase that was being lifted into place.

During the lift, the snap link failed, causing the staircase and Employee #1 to fall approximately 13 feet to the floor. Employee #1 struck the rear portion of the staircase with his head and he suffered severe brain trauma. Employee #1 died in the hospital 18 days later from a brain aneurysm.
