Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and a coworker had worked from a two point suspension scaffold for the entire eight hour shift. At approximately 3:30 p.m., the other two-man crews at the site had already descended to quit for the day, but Employee #1 and the coworker were still working at the 34th floor level. Another employee yelled to the two men and motioned to them to descend. Employee #1 acknowledged with a wave and the men began their descent. The coworker explained that they had descended to the 25th floor when Employee #1 stopped his motor, looked at the coworker but said nothing. Employee #1 then started to descend again but stopped at the 21st floor and, placing his foot against the building, pushed himself over the guardrail. He was killed.
