Investigation Summary
ON NOVEMBER 19, 1984, AT APPROXIMATELY 8:15 A.M, EMPLOYEE #1, A CARPENTER, WAS INSTALLING A HOISTWAY-LANDING OPENING GUARD AT THE #1 ELEVATOR SHAFT IN THE MAIN LOBBY OF THE EAST BUILDING. HIS HEAD WAS CAUGHT BETWEEN THE BOTTOM OF THE ELEVATOR CAR AND THE TOP OF THE PARTIALLY BUILT GUARD (MADE OF 3/4 INCH PLYWOOD), WHICH HAD ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED. EMPLOYEE #1 WAS BEHEADED.
