Description:On August 5, 1993, a 47-year-old male iron worker fell 80 feet from a steel cross brace on an outdoor conveyor system to wooden timbers on the ground below. The victim fell as he walked across a section of 8-inch-wide structural steel. NJDOH FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar incidents in the future, the following safety guidelines should be followed: 1. Workers should be trained and supervised in safe work practices
2. Fall protection should be utilized at all times. 3. Employers should conduct a Job Hazard Evaluation when planning a project and review the plan with employees on a daily basis
4. Employers and employees should be aware of the dangers of abuse of alcohol and other substances that may impair judgment or alertness. Employers should strictly enforce a prohibition against the use of any substance that may affect a worker's physical or mental ability.
