Narrative

While installing structural steel doors over coal bin EE went around safety rail without using fall protection on the door which was still attached to the crane to try to move the door & close a gap between the doors. The door shifted causing a support I-beam to move shifting the doors which caused him to fall. MSHA was notified 12/27/05 that he had expired from his injuries.
