scope:
An ironworker (IW2) fell approximately 12 feet from a fixed ladder to a small platform below Level 41 in High Bay 4 of the VAB. In the process of falling, IW2 struck another ironworker (IW1), knocking IW1 from the lower platform into open space. A fall to the High Bay 4 floor approximately 450+ feet below was prevented by IW1's usage of personal fall protection equipment. Both workers sustained nonlife threatening injuries and received out-patient care.
