Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:00 a.m. on March 25, 1993, Employee #1 was sandblasting, at a height of 40 ft, the inside portion of a water tower along with three other employees. Employee #1 was sitting on the extended front end of a makeshift "merry-go-round" suspension ladder scaffold. A 50-foot wire rope used to guide the scaffold was attached at the top of the water tower and to a come-along at the bottom of the tower. The wire rope broke at the come-along attachment, causing the scaffold to shift forward, and knocked the employee off the scaffold. He fell 40 ft to the bottom floor of the water tower. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
