Abstract: On November 19, 2009, a three-man crew was repointing a chimney on the roof of the 3-story multi-family residential building. A tubular welded frame scaffold, built 5 tiers high, was used for access and for a material and equipment staging area. Employee #1 was climbing the scaffold frame to access the roof when he became physically distressed, according to a witness. After Employee #1 entered an intermediate platform to rest, he collapsed and fell 25 ft from the platform onto an asphalt surface. He was killed. Employee #1 had hernia surgery two weeks prior to the incident. Emergency responders noted that the Employee #1 had signs of internal bleeding near the surgery incision.
