Investigation Summary
Employee #1, an ironworker, was working from a platform installed beneath the deck of a bridge. He, another ironworker, and an engineer were servicing a punch list of improperly torqued bolts. Employee #1 was climbing from the inner decked platform to the outer decked platform through a 21-inch space between the structural steel member over which he was climbing and the closest plank. As he climbed over a 12-inch opening between a structural beam and the bottom of the deck, he fell approximately 37 ft and landed on the ground. Employee #1 sustained an injury to the back of the head and was killed.
