Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:35 a.m. on September 28, 1993, Employees #1, #2, #3, and #4 were on tiered tubular welded frame scaffolding that was erected on the east side of a seven story apartment building. The scaffold was three panels or 21 ft wide by 11 tiered panels or 71 ft 6 in. high (each panel was 8 ft long by 5 ft wide by 6 ft 6 in. high). The employees were setting up for the construction of brick and block exterior walls when the scaffold collapsed, causing the four employees to fall to the ground. Employee #1 was killed; Employees #2, #3, and #4 were hospitalized. Employee #5, who was at the material hoist operator station below the scaffold, was injured by falling objects.
