Investigation Summary
At 7:30 a.m. on August 21, 2006, Employee #1 was working on a rolling scaffold (4 to 5 ft high) that he had assembled earlier that morning. The plank was leveled, well-supported by two 1-in.-wide welded rails that ran along both sides of scaffold, and constrained from sliding horizontally by four corner uprights. Shortly after Employee #1 had placed a full bucket of drywall joint compound and several hand tools on the plank, the plank gave way. He then fell to the ground. Employee #1 was hospitalized at Kaiser Hospital for a fractured left leg. There were no witnesses to the accident.
