Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and Employee #2 were working between the second and third level of a tubular welded frame scaffold that was approximately 42-feet high. Employees #1 and #2 were grinding out motor joints at a point pace wall of a building using small hand held electric grinders. The scaffold collapsed away from the wall resulting in the two employees falling approximately 36-feet to the concrete sidewalk. Both employees were taken to University Hospital. Employee #1 sustained a possible broken neck, back, hip, and left arm. Employee #2 sustained a back injury and several lacerations and bruises. Inspections of the scaffold revealed that the scaffold was not secured to the building structure at least every 30-feet horizontally and 26-feet vertically to prevent displacement or movement. Employees #1 and #2 stated that they had not received training on scaffold safety.
