Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:20 p.m. on July 13, 1999, Employee #1 was using a hoist to lower roofing materials to the street when the hoist arm was pulled to the north by the tag line. The counterweights were unable to hold the hoist down, and it tipped toward the street as Employee #1 was guiding the load down. He fell approximately 100 ft onto the sidewalk shed and was killed instantly. Employee #1 was not using any form of fall protection. The hoist had been set up to swing in a direction for which it was not designed.
