Employee injured in 14 ft fall from I-beam

At approximately 2:00 p.m. on April 14, 1986, Employee #1 had climbed a scaffold, gotten onto a lenticulate I-beam, and was prying a kicker into place for welding. Two coworkers, one on each side of him, were assisting him with prying and welding. The weld broke, causing Employee #1 to lose his balance and fall 14 ft from the top of the beam to the dirt ground. He suffered a sprained ankle and a cut on his chin from a piece of angle iron that required 16 stitches to close. The employees had received training in working on steel. Causal factors for this accident include failure to use a life belt and lanyard, both of which were on site; failure to tie-off after leaving the scaffold; and failure to recognize a hazardous condition.
