Abstract: On December 11, 2012, Employee #1 was working at a residential construction site. He descended from the roof section of a residential two-story building onto a scaffold. As he stepped onto the scaffolding, the corner weld of the roof scaffold bracket broke, creating a space between the scaffold planks and the side of the building. Employee #1 fell in between this space, striking the ground and sustaining unspecified injuries. He was transported to a medical center, where he was treated in the emergency room and released shortly thereafter.
