Investigation Summary
At 7:15 a.m. on January 5, 2021, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was engaged in exterior carpentry work for a new four-story multifamily residential structure. He was using a pneumatic nail gun to secure plywood to wood joists. The employee grabbed on to the corner of the building, lost his balance, rolled over the edge of the structure, and fell 20 feet to an elevated concrete deck. The employee was wearing fall protection equipment, but there was excess slack in the lifeline, and the system failed to protect him. The employee was transported to the hospital, admitted, and treated for an ankle sprain.
