Investigation Summary
At 10:30 a.m. on December 21, 2004, Employee #1 and a coworker, laboring for Ontario Specialty Contracting Inc. at 1595 Wynkoop Street in Denver, CO, were working on the fourth level of the interior of a building being prepared for demolition. Water was being sprayed on debris that had been removed from the roof as part of an asbestos abatement process. As a result, several inches of water in depth had accumulated in an area adjacent to an elevator shaft. Employee #1 and his coworker decided to pry open the elevator doors to allow the water to drain down the elevator shaft. At this time, Employee #1 lost his balance and fell 65 ft down the elevator shaft. Employee #1 was killed.
