Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Report for Missouri: Construction Worker Dies as a Result of an 11-Foot Fall From Unguarded Residential Deck
A 46-year-old construction worker died as a result of an 11-foot fall from an unguarded residential deck. The victim was finishing a screen door on the deck when he may have been attacked by stinging insects in the area. In the victim's attempt to escape the area, he fell from the deck and landed on dirt, rocks, and building materials. The MO FACE investigator concluded that in order to prevent future similar occurrences employers should: (1) install and maintain railings around all open-sided floors, platforms, and runways when the height exceeds four feet. (2) develop, implement and enforce a comprehensive safety program that includes, but is not limited to, training in hazard recognition and avoidance.
