Investigation Summary

An employee who prepared lunch for the crew called for all the employees to come and eat lunch. Employee #1 took off his fall protection (harness) in preparation for taking his lunch break.

While attempting to take the measurement, Employee #1 reach to his right and slightly forward to retrieve his tape measure which was on another truss approximately 2 ft away. Employee #1 lost his balance and fell to the concrete surface. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital where he died.
