Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was window washing from a Sky Genie bosun chair that was improperly rigged. The rope suspending the unit was attached to a steel beam (W8 by 28) that was 12 in. long. This beam was not secured properly as the bolt securing it did not have a nut. When the beam broke loose from its bolt, Employee #1, who was tied off by an independent lifeline, hung suspended from only his safety lifeline when the beam fell and struck him in the head. Employee #1 died from cranial cerebral injury.
