Investigation Summary
Melois Plastering was hired to stucco the outside of a renovated 3-story structure. Johnson Scaffold installed scaffolding around the building, with a pedestrian canopy built over the sidewalk to protect pedestrians walking by. Employees #2 and #3 were standing on the pedestrian canopy platform, passing materials and supplies up to Employee #1, who was standing on the third level of scaffolding accepting material. Employee #1 jumped down onto the canopy, which collapsed, sending all three employees approximately 14 feet to the ground. Pedestrian canopies are not designed to be used as a platform. General citations 8CCR1510(a) were issued for failure to give safety instruction to the employees. Also, the employer had no code of safe practices that related to the pedestrian canopy (8CCR1509(b)).
