Investigation Summary
At 12:45 p.m. on September 15, 2017, Employee #1 and coworkers, employed by a painting contractor, were working at a multiemployer construction project, an indoor gun range on a military base. They were assigned to paint the structure's interior. The employees had been using a single frame scaffold on caster wheels plus extendable spray painting wands to reach the ceiling. On this day, Employee #1 decided not to use a spray wand to reach the ceiling. Instead, he constructed a double-stacked frame scaffold. The top level of the scaffold was too close to the ceiling joists to install a guardrail around the scaffold's work platform. As he worked, Employee #1 stepped off the edge of the scaffold and fell to the concrete floor, a fall height of approximately 10 feet 9 inches. His coworkers carried him to a vehicle and transported him to the hospital. Employee #1 was admitted and treated for multiple fractures to his upper and lower legs, ankles, feet, hips, and back. The subsequent investigation determined that Employee #1 had not been wearing fall protection.
