A metal wall bracket scaffold had been erected along the second floor exterior sheathing made of 0.4375 inch OSB. The scaffold was secured to the inside of the building by a threaded rod, for the upper mounting point, through the wall and secured to a 2-in. by 6-in. whaler spanned across two 2-in. by 6-in. upright joists. The base of the bracket was set on the wall surface. Employee #1, a roofer, was walking along the scaffold when the lower leg of one of the brackets broke through the sheathing causing the bracket to tip outward. Employee #1 fell approximately 21 ft and received bruises and contusions.
