Investigation Summary
On March 22, 2001, Employee #1, working as a timekeeper for a gunite cement contractor, was standing on a scaffold that was approximately 26 feet above the ground. Employee #1 is responsible for keeping track of what time employees arrive and leave the site and performs this task at street level. Employee #1 decided to go down to the lower working area to give a coworker a soda the co- worker was spraying a cement material onto a retaining wall. Employee #1 asked the coworker to hand him the hose while the coworker drank the soda. The hose was on at full power. Employee #1 either tripped or lost his balance and fell between the scaffold plank and the bottom of the mid-rail 26 feet. Employee #1 sustained a fractured back and was hospitalized for his injuries.
