Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:18 a.m. on April 15, 1997, Employee #1 was on the roof of the Ethan Allen building. He stepped onto a 2 by 6 joist that was also holding between 10 and 15 pieces of plywood, each of which weighed 20 lb. The combined weight of Employee #1 and the plywood was too much for the joist to support. The joist failed and Employee #1 and the plywood fell 20 ft through the roof. He landed on cement, sustaining rib and shoulder injuries. The employer was cited for failure to notify the OSHA division of the accident, and for a live load hazard.
