Abstract: At 9:00 a.m. on July 7, 2016, a worker was climbing the end frame of a scaffold to reach its fourth level where he'd be working. There was no access ladder provided to reach the scaffolding platforms, and the fourth-level platform was 26 feet high. As the worker reached for the guard rail post of the fourth level, it became dislodged and the worker fell to the ground. The worker suffered severe fractures and other internal injuries that resulted in his death.
