Employee #1 and a coworker were on an I-beam 32 ft above the adjacent level. With their safety belts tied off, they used a torch to cut an 8 ft diameter steel ring. When the cut was complete, they pulled the ring up from a vertical position and laid it horizontally across two I-beams. They then unhooked their safety belts and proceeded to move along one of the beams. Employee #1 tripped over the ring or the torch hose and fell 32 ft to his death. | |||||||
