Investigation Summary
On June 7, 1984, Employee #1 was removing the guardrails from the stair landing between the second and third floor so he could stucco the walls. The general contractor told Employee #1 to make sure he reinstalled the guardrails which he did. However, instead of installing the rail on the inside of the 2 by 4 vertical support railings, he nailed them on the outside with two 16 penny duplex nails on each end. Fifteen to twenty minutes after the guardrail was reinstalled Employee #1 came down the stairs. Someone from the ground level called to him and he went over to the railing. The railing then came loose and Employee #1 and the railing fell to the ground. Employee #1 was hospitalized for fracturing his neck and back.
