Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:00 noon on September 10, 2007, Employee #1 and a coworker were installing pan decking on a bridge. Employee #1 was waalking too close to the edge and stepped on the last decking pan, which had not yet been secured. It gave way and he fell approximately 50 ft, landing in a shallow creek. He was transported to a local hospital, where he died several hours later. Employee #1 and his coworker were wearing full-body harnesses, but Employee #1's harness was not connected to one of the tie-off lines spanning the length of the bridge girders. The decking pan he stepped on was also unsecured.
