Investigation Summary
Employee #1, an Ironworker, was carrying a stair stringer into the building and slipped while walking up a ramp at the entrance. Employee #1 fell against a wood guardrail post and the post gave way at its base and he fell. The guardrails had been removed to the left of the post on that side of the shaft to allow for hoisting, so the post had no bracing towards that side and it tipped and broke in that direction. Employee #1 fell 32 ft into the elevator shaft at the side entrance of the building. Employee #1 suffered fractured ribs, and other blunt impact injuries which were not life threatening. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
