Employee dies after falling from steel structure

While installing a tee along the rigid conduit, Employee #1 attempted to stand on a structural steel outside the work platform. He stepped through the guardrail, lost his balance, and fell 46 ft to a concrete floor. Employee #1 died. The employees were not tied off by lanyard or provided with an extended work platform.
