Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14333678

Event: 08/23/1994

Employee dies in fall from scaffold

Employee #1, a labor foreman, stepped on an unsupported plank on an elevated scaffold platform. The plank, which was part of the outrigger platform, was not secured to its support bracket. An adjacent section of the scaffold had been dismantled earlier that day and the plank had been shifted to the still standing frame without being properly anchored. The plank overlapped its support bracket in such a way that it teeter-tottered on the support. Employee #1 stepped from the main elevated work platform to the outrigger platform and fell 24 feet to the concrete floor. He died.
