Investigation Summary
On May 24, 2006, Employee #1 was conducting rust preventative work on welds of a scaffolding catwalk attached a building. He was not wearing fall protection, as he removed slag off the welds and then sprayed them with gray paint. The catwalk had an opening approximately 3 ft long by 2 ft wide, which was unguarded. As he applied paint upon the welds, he lost his balance and fell approximately 25.625 ft. He struck the ground and died. Following the accident investigation, it was unclear if Employee #1 fell through the scaffolding opening or over the scaffolding guardrail.
