Investigation Summary
At 11:30 a.m. on January 29, 2015, Employee #1, employed by a construction company at a multiemployer construction site, was working from a 6-foot scaffold and filling masonry blocks with mortar. Upon completing his work, Employee #1 proceeded to exit the scaffold while holding a bucket and possibly a trowel. He fell to the concrete floor. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for a laceration to his head and a sprained shoulder. The subsequent investigation identified two explanations for the fall. A witness stated that the worker was trying to descend from the scaffold, missed a step, and fell. The employer stated that his own investigation determined that the worker jumped from one scaffold to another, lost his footing, and fell.
