Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:00 a.m. on October 6, 1992, Employee #1 was standing on the second stage of a scaffold to install a light fixture. Approximately 100 feet away, a coworker climbed down the scaffold. Since the scaffold was not tied, the movement caused about 250 ft of the scaffolding to collapse. Employee #1 fell and sustained serious bodily injuries. A serious violation of T8CCR 1511(b) and a general violation of T8CCR 1644(a)(5) were issued.
