Investigation Summary
At 1:20 p.m. on March 21, 2022, an employee was in the process of accessing a fire escape.

Immediately after, the suspended scaffold swung towards the fire escape and crashed into the fire escape. The employee fell approximately 13.5 feet from the suspended scaffold to the ground level. The employee was killed due to impalement. The employee's head was pierced by a picket fence on the ground level during the fall.
