Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170789036

Event: 08/18/1995

Employee killed in fall from scaffold

At approximately 5:30 a.m. on August 18, Employee #1 was on a 6 ft high mobile scaffold removing metal soffit material. He had removed all but the last piece up of a pillar west of the entrance. A portion of this section was lying on the floor, with part of it bent behind the scaffold to allow access to the entrance. When Employee #1, using a power screwdriver, removed the last screw, the soffit fell from the ceiling, hitting the front wall. The material sprang back and caught the bent portion of the soffit behind the scaffold. This hit the west leg and caused the scaffold to tip. Employee #1 fell backwards and hit his head on the concrete floor. Employee #1 was unconscious when he was transported to the hospital. He did not survive.
