Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:10 p.m. on July 19, 1997, Employee #1 and two coworkers were painting a house in San Francisco. When the coworkers were not looking, Employee #1 started climbing the 12 ft tall tube and coupler scaffold. They heard a crash as the narrow scaffold tipped over in the approximately 2-1/2 ft wide driveway. Employee #1 sustained a head wound, from which he died. One of the coworkers later stated there was some kind of cribbing for the footing of the scaffold on the uneven driveway surface. The homeowner's son was home at the time of the accident and had assisted in setting up the scaffold.
