Investigation Summary
On July 26, 2001, Employee #1, an ironworker, was working on a floor-decking project of a ten-story steel-framed building. After moving some plywood that was covering an opening in a steel deck, he stepped upon plywood that was not properly installed. The improperly installed plywood could not support his weight and cracked under it. The crack propagated across the section and folded inward causing him to fall through it. As he fell through the section, he landed upon a safety net, injuring his chest. The safety net was positioned two-decks (21 ft) below him and prevented him from falling to the ground. The impact of the fall caused him to receive contusions upon the thoracic region of his body.
