Investigation Summary
At 4:20 p.m. on September 24, 1994, Employee #1 was working on the construction of a large rice storage building with concrete tilt-up walls and a steel-frame roof. He was trimming out (waterproofing) an area around a catwalk opening to the roof, while wearing a safety belt with a lanyard that had a single unlocking type snap. A 1- or 2-ton come-along was hooked to the expanded metal catwalk and to the lanyard. Employee #1 slid 60 ft down the roof and fell 16 ft from the eave of the roof. His left foot was crushed, his left toes were dislocated, and his right foot was bruised. Apparently, the lanyard was hooked to Employee #1's hammer ring and not the safety belt D ring. According to witnesses, when the lanyard was brought down from the roof, a stretched metal hammer ring was attached to one end of the lanyard hook.
