Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:15 a.m. on July 15, 2000, Employee #1, of Larry McAbee Construction, was framing a commercial building. He was standing on a 2 in. by 6 in. plank that rested on rafters spaced 16 in. apart, installing bracing to connect the ceiling to the wall. Employee #1 stepped on the end of the plank that was not secured or supported by a rafter and the plank flipped up, causing him to fall approximately 14 1/2 ft. He was transported to the hospital and discharged 2 1/2 days later. The company's fall protection booklet, produced by a consulting firm, said that fall protection was not needed below a height of 15 ft. The employer was cited for no having a plank at least 12 in. wide.
