Employee Is Killed In Fall From Steel Structure

At approximately 1:00 p.m. on September 11, 2006, Employee #1 was assisting in the erection of the tower sections from the top of a material handling hoist car. When a safety chain of the hoist broke, the hoist car fell to the ground. Employee #1 was connected to the gin pole, which was part of a sled located on the top of the hoist car. The gin pole apparently broke and Employee #1 fell backwards 100 ft to the ground. He was pronounced dead at approximately 1:13 p.m. There was one additional employee on the tower, who was connected to a separate lifeline system.
