Employee dies while installing hinges in fall from balcony

At 4:50 a.m. on June 30, 2022, an employee was exchanging factory installed hinges with a different color hinge on apartment balcony doors. The balcony doors are less than 8 feet from the edge of each balcony. Some of the balconies did not offer workers protection from falls. The distance from next lowest level to the balconies edges were between 10-feet 8 7/8 inches and 42-feet 8 1/2 inches. The employee fell to hardened concrete below and died. The employee either fell from a balcony or committed suicide. The reason suicide is suspected is not included in the narrative.
