Investigation Summary
On the morning of February 27, 1997, Employee #1 and his partner were framing a single family home. They were installing a 4 ft by 8 in. by 3/4 in. plywood subfloor to the first floor. An approximately 3 ft by 7 ft stairwell opening had been covered the day before to eliminate the fall hazard. Employee #1 removed the two sheets of plywood that were covering the stairwell opening because the plywood was needed to complete the floor. Soon after he removed these sheets, Employee #1 fell through 10 ft the opening to the basement. He died of head injuries.
