Employee Is Injured in Fall from I-beam

On September 16, 2002, Employee #1, an apprentice ironworker, was at the construction site of a solid web steel skeleton for a theater. He was on an I-beam, moving from point to point stuffing bolts, when he fell approximately 27 ft to the ground. Employee #1 sustained a fractured femur, a shattered wrist, and a ruptured or broken disc in his spine. He was wearing a body harness and lanyard, but was not tied off to the header or field beams, because he was traveling from point to point at a height under 30 feet.
