Employee injured in fall when scaffold collapses

Employee #1 and a coworker had been instructed by their foreman to install Typar and hurricane straps on the north side of a house. They erected a ladder jack scaffold, and began working from its walk board at a height of 8 ft. Employee #1 knelt down at the end of the board and was attempting to pull the ladder back away from the house so that he could reach the Typar, which was between 1 and 2 ft below the ladder. When Employee #1 pulled on the ladder, he caused it to fall backward and collapse. Employee #1 fell straight down, suffering a sprained right wrist and bruised ribs.
