Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on April 26, 1995, Employee #1 and a coworker were standing on the trusses of a roof, pulling up 35 ft long sections of metal sheathing. A metal scaffold platform was being used to assist in stabilizing the metal sheathing as it was being pushed up to the two employees. The metal scaffold platform had one end placed on the ground and another end on the roof truss. Employee #1 noticed that the sheathing was sliding off the scaffold platform. He stepped back on the 2 by 4 wooden purlins, but missed one and fell 16 ft to the ground. He was transported to Carroll County General Hospital, treated, and released the following day. Employee #1 sustained a dislocated elbow and a sprained foot. The employees were not wearing fall protection devices.
