Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:45 a.m. on October 9, 1990, Employee #1, an apprentice carpenter, was helping the foreman and a coworker snap chalk lines on the floor for wall alignment at a home in Grass Valley, CA. The first line was a long one, running along the front of the house. The floor elevation at the edge was 18 ft 8 in. The carpenter held one end of the chalk line at the northeast corner of the floor, 5 1/2 in. from the edge. The foreman was 45 ft away at the other end. Employee #1 was asked to hold the chalk line down next to an entry stairway. The line was snapped and Employee #1 stood up, turned around and took two steps away from the edge. On his third step, he went through a stair opening, falling 18 ft and landing head first on concrete. He was killed.
