Employee Falls and Fractures Pelvis

Employee #1 and a foreman were working at a 5-story professional building repairing areas that would leak during rain storms. The foreman was caulking the parapet wall flashing from the roof of the building. Employee #1 was working from a boatswains chair at approximately 40-ft elevation on the east side of the building. His chair was tied off properly and he was wearing a full body harness with lanyard. He did not attach his lanyard to the independent lifeline before he went over the side of the building. Employee #1 realized he needed to attach to the lifeline before descending farther. As he reached for the lifeline, the boatswains chair descent device gave out and Employee #1 fell approximately four stories before landing on the ground. He was flown to MD. University Shock Trauma and was hospitalized for treatment of a fractured right leg and pelvis.
