Investigation Summary
At 5:00 p.m. on June 23, 2022, an employee was working from a scaffold assisting a mason by ensuring he had the necessary materials to build a 25-foot concrete block wall. The employee fell from the scaffold through a gap in the wall and incurred blunt force trauma to his head and neck. The employee died from impact with the foundation concrete slab below. In the central area of the wall, there was an unprotected opening that measured approximately 12-foot wide by 12-foot 5-inches high. This created a gap of approximately 28-inches that was not guarded as the employee traversed the opening in the wall.
