Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14542195
Event: 07/04/1984
Employee killed in scaffold collapse

Employee #1 was sandblasting a smokestack from a single point suspension scaffold. The rigging in this manufactured unity used wire rope clips and shackles. Employee #1 had descended from 60 to 48 ft above ground level when he contacted a metal flange on the stack, causing a momentary slack in the suspension wire rope. The basket came free, exerting a shock load on the suspension rigging. A section of the rigging failed at a wire rope-clipped fastening, the wire rope pulled out of two clips, and the scaffold fell to the ground. Employee #1 struck his head on the building structure and was killed.
