Investigation Summary
At 10:34 a.m. on December 21, 2007, Employees #1 and #2, who had started work that day at 8:00 a.m., were on their first and second days, respectively, at the job site. They were assigned by the supervisor to fasten the gutter onto the roof edge. Employees #1 and #2 were working from a scaffold when it started to bend away from the building. Both workers fell off the scaffold, landing on a concrete surface. Emergency Services responded and transported both men to UCLA Westwood Hospital. Employee #1 suffered a fractured right wrist and was hospitalized for two days. Employee #2 suffered fractures to his right heel and right hip, and a back injury; he was hospitalized for five days. There were no witnesses to the accident. The scaffold had been erected a few months earlier by an independent scaffold contractor. About a month prior to the accident, a coworker engaged in plastering work had cut two wire ties on the scaffold to apply the final color-coat of stucco.
