Abstract: On June 21, 2001, Employee #1 was helping to relocate scaffolding at the work site. Chain slings with open hooks were being used as temporary supports for the swing stage of the scaffold as it was being moved. The slings and hooks on the east end of the scaffold became disconnected and that side of the scaffold collapsed. Employee #1 fell and suffered multiple abrasions and contusions, for which he was hospitalized.
