Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was working on ceiling joists, replacing a 6 in. by 6 in. beam while straddling two 2 in. by 8 in. joists, when one joist broke and the employee fell 12 ft to the floor. The joist failure was due to the age of the building and two knot holes located close together at the point of failure.
