Investigation Summary
On October 19, 1990, Employee #1, a maintenance mechanic for Leprino Foods, was working alone in the attic over office and toilet space. A new rooftop air conditioner had been installed and Employee #1 was placing flexible insulated duct to ceiling outlets. The ceiling consisted of 2 in. by 4 in. stringers with plywood nailed to the bottom side. An approximately 18 ft by 10 ft section near the work area, and over an office area, consisted of a metal gridwork that supported ceiling tiles, and was in turn supported by 2 in. by 4 in. stringers laid flat and wired to the gridwork. This structure is clearly not designed to take any significant point loads. Employee #1 fell through the ceiling to the floor. He cannot recall how or why he stepped or fell onto the suspended ceiling.
