Investigation Summary
At 2:30 p.m. on January 7, 2021, Employee #1, a journeyman carpenter employed by a concrete construction company, was working on the construction of a 22-story concrete structure, mixed use commercial and residential. He was dismantling the lower trailer platform of the core climber, a portion of the apparatus that was being used to build the center core of the building, the elevator hoist way. Employee #1 climbed the extension ladder used to access the platform, which was positioned approximately 7 feet above the landing. As he was climbing the ladder, a coworker reminded him to tie off and handed him the retractable lanyard to connect to his body harness. As Employee #1 stepped onto the platform, he started to connect the lanyard to the "D" ring on the back of the body harness. Before he completed this process, the platform moved, a joist fell, and the platform fell with Employee #1 to the next lower level in the hoist way, a fall of 10 floors, approximately 96 feet. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital and admitted for treatment. His injuries included head trauma, fractures, and contusions.
