Investigation Summary
On February 17, 2006, Employee #1 and a coworker were at a new home site to finish installing exhaust fan ducts. Employee #1 and his coworker went room to room turning on exhaust fan switches. Employee #1 and his coworker were at a door they thought was a bathroom door, but it was the door leading to the basement. Employee #1 pushed on the door and it opened slightly. Thinking the door was jammed, Employee #1 used his shoulder to force it open. When the door opened, Employee #1 fell into the opening, flipped over and landed on the back of his head on the concrete basement floor, killing him. The landing and stairs had not yet been installed.
