Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on October 14, 1991, Employee #1 and two coworkers were installing sections of a safety rail to a ladder that was inside a 406 ft high antenna tower. When coworkers working above Employee #1 lost control of a rail, it fell approximately 50 ft and struck Employee #1 on the back of the head, killing him. The aluminum safety or carrier rail measured 20 ft long and weighed approximately 30 lb. The rail is designed to hold a ladder safety climbing device to which an employee could attach a lanyard from a safety belt to provide protection while climbing ladders more than 20 feet in unbroken length. Neither Employee #1 nor the coworkers were wearing protective headgear (hard hats) when the accident occurred.
