Investigation Summary
On April 14, 2007, Employee #1 was working as a member of a crew who were to remove lead-based paint from a bridge, and then repaint the bridge. He and several other workers were working under the bridge, on a suspended platform made from 9-gauge chain-link fencing. They were spreading a tarpaulin on the chain-link platform. Even though there were cables suspended under the bridge to which employees could secure their personal fall protection equipment, no one was secured to the cable. Employee #1 was walking backward, helping spread the tarpaulin, when he walked into an opening in the chain-link platform by the pier cap of the bridge. He fell approximately 25 feet to the ground. He was taken to a local hospital, where he later died from hypovolemic shock, liver lacerations and blunt trauma.
