Employee #1 was reaching to install a wire in the drop ceiling when the scaffold moved away from the wall and he fell. He landed on the right side of his body and suffered a fracture of his distal radius. The wheels of the scaffold were not locked at the time of the accident. According to Employee #1, this was done so that the scaffold could be easily moved during the installation process.
