Investigation Summary
On April 17, 2007, Employee #1 was involved in the construction of a nine story building. The building had an empty elevator shaft that had been constructed for future use as a passenger elevator shaft. In the meantime, on each floor, a wall would be built in front of the empty elevator shaft. The employee was instructed to erect a scaffold in front of the empty elevator shaft and prepare materials for the masons to build the wall. Employee #1 fell approximately 72 feet down the empty elevator shaft, while performing these activities, and died.
