Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:30 p.m. on April 2, 1987, Employees #1 and #2 had unloaded two bundles of metal decking, two bundles of bridging, and two bundles of roof frames onto six open-web steel joists 25 ft above ground level. The joists were at 5 1/2 ft centers and welded on the end to the I-beam. Employees #1 and #2 had just unhooked the second bundle of frames when a joist apparently rolled, causing them to fall. The joist broke from its welds and all six joists collapsed, landing on the employees. Employee #1 was killed, and Employee #2 suffered a head injury and was hospitalized.
