Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:28 a.m. on February 9, 1985, Employees #1 through #5 were installing brick at ground level within a 39 ft high tubular welded frame scaffold that was enclosed by plastic. The scaffold collapsed when a gust of wind hit the plastic surface and caused the scaffold to lift up. Employee #1 suffered internal injuries after being pinned under the debris and was killed. Employee #2 injured his back and knee. Employee #3 sustained three broken ribs, a punctured lung, and multiple cuts and bruises. Employee #4 sustained multiple cuts and bruises, and Employee #5 suffered back injuries and a broken rib. Although the location of the scaffold made it subject to gusting winds, it was not secured, anchored, or properly crossbraced, and the sticking pins lacked locks.
