Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was working on the outside of a building between the fourth floor and the roof, at a height of approximately 50 ft. He was straddling a steel spandrel beam, using two come-alongs to jack it up when the hand winches broke and he fell back to the fourth floor. Employee #1 was wearing a safety harness looped over a piece of angle iron and connected back to the harness. The come-alongs were also attached to the angle iron. Employee #1 sustained multiple contusions on his back and was hospitalized. A causal factor in this accident was improperly tying off and using an improper anchor point.
