Employee Is Killed in Fall from Roof Decking

On February 3, 2010, Employee #1, a crew leader with Palatka Welding Shop, Inc., was erecting the structural steel and installing the metal roof decking for a new movie theater. When he noticed that an installed sheet of decking needed to be moved, he crawled on top of a channel iron to move the sheet. Employee #1 was not utilizing fall protection equipment. He pulled on one side of the metal decking sheet while another employee lifted the other side. Employee #1 either lost his balance or slipped, and fell over 31 ft to a concrete floor. He sustained head and chest trauma, and was killed.
