Description:On May 26, 1994, a 53-year-old male iron worker was killed after falling through an opening in a bridge under construction. The incident occurred at the construction site where steel deck pans were being secured to concrete beams to form the bridge deck. The victim had been placing and securing the pans when he apparently tripped or lost his balance and fell through the opening covered with an unsecured pan. He fell 55 feet to the foot of a concrete pier. NJDOH FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar incidents in the future, these safety guidelines should be followed: 1. Employers should ensure that fall protection is used at all times. 2. All contractors and subcontractors should conduct a job hazard analysis of the work area with their employees. 3. Employers should ensure that that company safety policies are enforced at all times. 4. Contracting authorities should utilize contract language requiring general and subcontractors to implement a safety and health program prior to starting work.
