Investigation Summary
On August 13, 2010, Employee #1, working for a sandblasting and painting company, was painting the top portion of a water tower. He slipped and fell. He was wearing a harness attached to a rope that allowed him to fall approximately 30 to 40 ft before the personal fall arrest system engaged. The stitching on the lanyard attaching the harness to the rope failed, and he fell another 120 ft and died.
