Investigation Summary
On July 10, 1996, Employee #1 and a coworker were painting a water tank from a two-point suspended scaffold. They had just completed painting a portion of the belly of the tank and were raising the scaffold approximately 130 to 150 ft to the catwalk. They were off the ground when the suspension rope on the northeast end of the scaffold failed. They were not wearing fall protection equipment, and Employee #1 fell to the ground. He was killed. The coworker grabbed a lifeline and did not fall.
