Abstract: At about 9:30 a.m. on August 30, 2006, Employee #1 was loading 12-ft long scaffold planks onto a pickup truck at a commercial building construction site. A coworker and a foreman were dismantling the scaffold, at an elevation of about 25 ft. As the foreman was removing a nail from the scaffold, he lost control of the plank he was holding. The plank fell and struck Employee #1 on his face, causing a nose fracture. The employee was taken to University Medical Center in Fresno, CA, where he was treated for his injury.
