Abstract: Employee #1 performing steel decking was walking backwards aligning the decking. He was walking towards the leading edge of the deck when he fell 30 ft to the ground through an opening. He was killed in a fall. Employee #1 was taken to a hospital and removed from life support two days later. Fall protection had been utilized almost during the entire operation.
