Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:00 a.m. on December 31, 1996, Employees #1 and #2 were in the beginning phases of roofing the rear of a house from a carpenter's bracket scaffold. They had stocked the scaffold with five bundles of shingles and two rolls of weatherproofing membrane. This amount of weight was excessive for the way the scaffold had been erected. The brace broke through the plywood wall and both employees fell more than 16 feet from the scaffold to the ground. They were hospitalized with multiple fractures. No guardrails or equivalent fall protection were provided.
