Description
Hugh Tiffany and William T. Lewis were employees of Battle Creek Steel Fabricating Company, the fabricator of steel beams used in the erection of the steel framework of Central Michigan University's athletic center building. On June 19, 1972, Tiffany and Lewis were working on the structure, attempting to connect the second of two horizontal steel beams to a vertical steel column by what is known as a double connection. With such a connection, common bolts are used to hold two beams to a single column. When one beam has already been bolted to the column it is thus necessary to remove the nuts from the bolts holding the first beam in order to attach the second beam. While the nuts are removed, the first beam is connected to the column only by means of the threads on the bolts. While attempting to make the connection with the second beam, the first beam began to pull away from the column causing Tiffany and Lewis to fall to the concrete floor of the structure, 43 feet below. Both workmen suffered serious personal injury.
