Abstract: On June 20, 2001, Employee #1 was working as a hod carrier for block layers. Employee #1 was working from a wooden platform section of scaffolding located between two sections of the free standing self-supporting Mighty scaffold tower. The scaffold plank was not long enough to set within the supports between the two tower sections and it failed as Employee #1 was working from the plank. Employee #1 fell 23 feet, 2 inches to the concrete floor slab, breaking his wrist. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital where x-rays showed that he also sustained a hairline fracture to his tail bone from the fall.
