Investigation Summary
A crew of employees was working overtime on a Friday afternoon to finish pouring caissons for bridge piers. They had been using a specially designed scaffold and one employee was still working from the scaffold platform. The scaffold should have been secured to a crane; however a 1-inch diameter nut had been removed which held one side of the scaffold coupler to the crane. The crane was laying a concrete bucket on the ground at the time, and the nut was removed before it returned. The scaffold toppled over and fell approximately 23 feet killing the employee who was still on the work platform.
