Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:30 p.m. on November 30, 2005, Employee #1 was dismantling a scaffold next to an open trench at a multi-employer construction job site in Santa Monica, CA. When the bearing soil underneath a scaffold leg caved into the unsupported/unshored trench, the scaffold moved and Employee #1 fell. Employee #1 fractured multiple ribs and was hospitalized for three days at UCLA Harbor Hospital. Causal factors included: 1) the opened trench was not shored up to provide adequate bearing pressure for the scaffold leg, and 2) Employee #1 did not adequately inspect the ground stability and the opened trench before dismantling the scaffold.
