Investigation Summary
At 8:15 p.m. on February 7, 2005, Employee #1, an apprentice ironworker with Imperial Iron Works, was inside the anchorage house of the George Washington Bridge. He and a coworker were constructing structural steel supports for catwalks. They were both on a scaffold pick platform set up under an I-beam in the anchorage house ceiling drilling bolt holes for structural steel connections. The co worker stated that Employee #1 then left the pick platform for a break. A few minutes later, a worker discovered Employee #1 on the floor 65 ft below the pick platform. The coworker did not see or hear Employee #1 fall due to the drill noise. Fall protection equipment was not in use, and guardrails or nets were not in place.
