Investigation Summary
An employee was finishing bolting an I beam. He was sitting on a 5-flange of the beam while it was still supported by a lull. One end of the beam was 2-bolted and the employee was sitting on the other end. The employee was lining up the bolt holes when the beam rolled slightly. He tried to compensate for the weight shift of the beam by shifting his weight to the opposite side. The employee lost his balance and fell 12 feet 2 inches to the ground. He was hospitalized with a fractured back.
