Investigation Summary
Employee #1 reported to work at 6:30 a.m. to raise the scaffold work platform that was installed on the non-stop elevating tower scaffold, and to stock the scaffold for the brick masons, who reported to work at 7:00 a.m. The employee had begun to perspire profusely while standing on the lower work platform, adjacent to the 21 ft long by 7 ft 3 in. high window opening. He appeared to lose consciousness and fell against the brick wall at the top of the window opening. He slid down the wall to a sitting position, fell over to his side, and rolled off the scaffold platform through the 2 ft 2 in. high opening between the work platform and the top of the window. The employee then fell to the floor, hitting a 42 in. cable guardrail which propelled him out of the window opening 28 ft 6 in. to the ground. Employee #1 died at approximately 11:30 a.m.
