Investigation Summary
At 11:00 a.m. on July 10, 2006, Employee #1, a journeyman ironworker and foreman, and a crew of four coworkers were installing metal stairs in a stadium in Los Angeles, CA. The employer manufactured and installed metal stairs. The employee was working from a stair about 20 ft above ground with an unsecured fall protection lanyard. The stair was supported by two 0.3125-in.diameter metal cables attached to winches. At one point, the stair got caught on a concrete column and, as the employee attempted to maneuver the stair with a sleever bar, one of the supporting winch lines broke. The employee fell to the ground and sustained a right wrist fracture. He was hospitalized.
