Narrative

An employee was preparing to add a stiffener to a cross-brace and was loosening a nut on a bolt of the cross-brace. After the nut was removed from the bolt, the cross-brace moved and the employee's fall protection slid off the cross-brace. He fell approximately 45.6 feet to the ground, breaking his ribs, collarbone, and pelvis.
