Investigation Summary
At 10:50 a.m. on August 16, 2017, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was working at a job site, a one-story residential building. In preparation for plaster coating an exterior 15-foot wall, he was taping a top portion of the wall. He was working from a 6-foot stepladder placed on the platform of a 6-foot high scaffold. The stepladder, in its folded position, was leaning against the wall and placed on two unsecured, loose scaffold planks. The wood planks shifted, and the ladder fell. Employee #1 fell onto a concrete/tiled floor, a fall height of approximately 10 feet. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was treated for multiple rib fractures and abdominal trauma. Employee #1 was hospitalized for 5 days.
