Abstract: At 7:57 a.m. on January 31, 2017, an employee was walking to the sixth floor balcony where he was going to apply waterproofing. The area consisted of balconies where a scaffold system was erected. A walking and working surface was created between the balcony openings. It consisted of brackets erected perpendicular to the scaffolding system. The planks were freely set on top of the brackets parallel to the scaffold. A second set of planks was overlaid between the balcony and the planks resting on the brackets. The scaffold erector was in the process of lowering the scaffold. The planks overlaying the planks resting on brackets were removed. The employee first accessed the balcony and then stepped on the planks freely resting on the brackets.
