Abstract: On February 1, 2013, an employee was on second story framing the gable end in front of the house at the edge of the wall, constructing the window frame on the gable. A coworker was cutting boards to length and passing them to the employee from the ground to the second floor from the ground. The coworker received dimensions for the next cut and turned away from the front of the house to cut 2-ft by 4-ft boards to length. While the employee was on a 10-ft high wood pole scaffold he descended to a 6-ft step ladder. The ladder slipped and fell which caused the employee to lose balance and fall off the scaffold. The employee fell from the edge of the front of the house to the ground 9-ft and hit head on 2-ft by10-ft boards. The employee was hospitalized and treated for a cut to forehead, fractures to neck, spine and broken left wrist.
