Investigation Summary
A steam plant operator for an electric power generation plant was standing on top of a high-pressure turbine without using any form of fall protection. He was handing rigging equipment down to his coworker on the ground. As the plant operator lowered the weighted end of a come-along, its hook caught his glove, causing him to lose his balance and fall 2.4 meters to the ground. He was hospitalized with a shattered right heel bone.
