Investigation Summary
Employees #1 and #2 and a coworker, all steel erectors, were bolting a diaphragm onto a beam. Employee #2 was wearing a harness and lifeline tied off to a Genie S-65 lift. Employee #1 was moving from the beam, where he had been tied off to a static line, into the Genie lift when the basket began an uncontrolled descent. He had not reattached his lifeline to the basket, and was thrown out before the basket came to a stop. Employee #1 was killed. Employee #2 was still attached by lifeline to the basket when it stopped. He sustained injuries that required hospitalization.
