Employee Receives Minor Injuries in Fall from Scaffolding

At approximately 2:00 p.m. on May 25, 2006, Employee #1, an apprentice carpenter, was removing monocoat from steel beams with a 4 in. Daywalt brand grinder. He and two coworkers were occupying a scaffold to conduct their work. The scaffold was approximately 24 ft from the ground. As Employee #1 completed the monocoat removal at one location, he moved to his left and towards an area of the scaffolding, where the end rails had been removed. He fell from the scaffold, falling 24 ft and into a very soft mud puddle. The fall resulted in some scratches upon his arm. He was taken to a hospital and underwent a medical evaluation and then released. The next day, he returned to work.
