Abstract: At 10:35 a.m. on May 10, 2017, Employee #1 and Coworker #1, employed by a construction company, were installing drywall inside the parking garage of a residential building. They were working from a rolling Baker Scaffold which was approximately 7 feet tall. Employee #1 needed to reach higher, so he also was using a stepladder positioned on the scaffold platform. Coworker #1, the supervisor, climbed down from the scaffold. The scaffold began to roll. Coworker #1 attempted to stop the scaffold, but it tipped over onto its side. Employee #1 fell approximately 8 feet to the concrete floor. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for fractures of the skull, wrist, and foot.
