Investigation Summary
On April 16, 1998, Employee #1, of D'Agostino Associates, Inc., was using a scaffold to grout the interior walls of an elevator shaft. He was standing on a platform board when the board slipped off the supporting frame member. Employee #1 fell 30 to 32 ft down the elevator shaft before he managed to grab onto a crossmember with his arm and landed on another planked section. The boards on which he was standing lacked the sufficient 6 in. to 12 in. overlap on the staging. From walking back and forth, the board on which Employee #1 was standing had worked itself off the supporting frame member of the staging.
