At approximately 10:00 a.m. on December 13, 1995, Employee #1 was preparing to wash windows from a boatswain's chair. He had rigged up his rappelling equipment and lifeline and had placed them over the side of a 14-story condominium building. He did not, however, connect to his lifeline when he went over the parapet wall and he did not fully engage the eye of his rappel rack into his locking type D-ring. As a result, Employee #1 fell to the ground and was killed.
