Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:45 a.m. on October 19, 1990, Employee #1 was carrying two 15 lb decorator blocks when he apparently lost his balance and fell from a 7 ft 3 in. high scaffold onto the asphalt breakdown lane of US Highway 280. He fractured his left wrist and ankle, and was hospitalized. Witnesses stated that Employee #1 appeared to lose his balance as he picked up blocks from a pallet and swung around. The scaffold was not equipped with guardrails, which were not required at that height. There were no observable tripping/slipping hazards, and no safety violations were found.
