Investigation Summary
On December 17, 1998, Employee #1, an iron worker employed by Tri-Steel Corporation, was working at the construction site of the Copper Hill Drive Bridge. The iron worker stepped down to a work platform that had been installed between the bridge spans to tie iron between the spans. When the employee got on the platform, one of the 4-ft by 8-ft braces under the plywood platform broke and the iron worker fell approximately 20 feet to the dry river bottom. He suffered a broken left elbow and right wrist. Employee #1 was transported to the Henry Mayo Hospital for emergency treatment.
