Abstract: On November 7, 2003, Employee #1 and Employee #2 were standing on the third tier work platform of a fabricated frame scaffold approximately 20 ft high which consisted of three 2 by 10 in. wooden "OSHA" stamped planks which were old and weathered. They were holding a piece of concrete board to position and secure it to the wall using screw guns as part of the stucco/plastering installation. The approximate weight of the concrete board was 80 pounds. The first board (closest to the building) broke causing Employee #1 to fall between the building and the scaffold receiving multiple bruises. Employee #2 managed to grab one of the scaffold frames and cross bracing receiving bruises to his right arm and leg.
