Abstract: AT 3:15 PM ON DECEMBER 4, 1987, EMPLOYEE #1, A BRICK MASON, WAS WORKING AT THE SECOND LEVEL OF A TUBULAR WELDED FRAME SCAFFOLD TRYING TO RAISE THE SCAFFOLD TO A THIRD LEVEL. THE SCAFFOLD WAS ERECTED ON A LEVEL, POURED CONCRETE FLOOR. THE SCAFFOLD WALKING SURFACE WAS SOLIDLY PLANKED. AS HE WAS TRYING TO SET THE 6 FOOT, 5 INCH THIRD LEVEL FRAME INTO THE PINS OF THE SECOND LEVEL FRAME, THE THIRD LEVEL FRAME FLIPPED TO THE SIDE. THE MOMENTUM OF THE FALLING FRAME CARRIED EMPLOYEE #1 BACKWARDS OFF THE SCAFFOLD. AS HE WAS FALLING HIS HARD HAT FELL OFF. HE LANDED ON HIS HEAD ON THE CONCRETE SURFACE AND WAS KILLED.
