Abstract: On January 5, 2008, Employee #1 was dismantling a fabricated frame scaffold system. He was working on the third level and had moved two planks into position to be lowered to the ground by a rough terrain fork lift. While moving another plank into position he walked on the unsupported cantilevered ends of the planks and fell 20 ft, striking several crossbraces before landing on the compacted earth. Employee #1 sustained fractured ribs, a fractured arm, and internal injuries.
