Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a foreman, was standing on a plywood sheet at the fifth floor which he placed over two steel duct supports while he and another worker were wrapping insulating material on one of the two duct pipes inside the duct shaft. The duct or vent shaft was provided with wire rope railings and a toe board around the shaft at each floor. Since the insulation work had to be done on the plywood platform outside of the railings, personal fall protection was required. However Employee #1 did not tie his lanyard to the railings and he fell when he lost his balance. His injuries were fatal.
