Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:30 p.m. on June 7, 2002, Employee #1 was engaged in dismantling a catwalk. He was standing at one end of the walkway and began to remove the bolts on the upper support knee bracing when the section collapsed. Employee #1 fell 33 ft to the ground and was killed. The main section of the catwalk was supported by a crane and rigging. This was not true for the section on which Employee #1 was working even though at 1:00 p.m. a coworker had initiated the first phase of the dismantling project by removing the lower bracing.
