Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:45 a.m. on November 17, 1992, Employee #1 was using a Ramset powder-activated tool to refasten bridge decking. He had fastened the planks on the northeast side, but had moved to the northwest side to secure a plank. Employee #1 shot a fastener into the laminated plank and was struck by the fastener as it ricocheted after striking a hidden nail or piece of metal. The fastener struck Employee #1 in the neck and lodged near his heart. He died from his injuries.
