Investigation Summary
At 8:00 a.m. on June 28, 2017, Employee #1, a foreman employed by a construction company, was engaged in demolition work at a three-story commercial building. He was standing on a 5-foot mobile scaffold and operating a reciprocating saw to cut horizontal duct work. As he cut through the duct work, which was not secured, the duct work swung and struck Employee #1's head and face and the scaffold. Employee #1 fell to the concrete floor, a fall height of 5 feet, and sustained additional head trauma. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He died at the hospital on July 16, 2017.
