Investigation Summary
At 10:15 a.m. on March 8, 2023, an employee working as an installer for an insulation contractor was installing insulation while standing on a mobile scaffold. The scaffold had no guards on the top platform and no locked wheel casters. While reaching above himself, the mobile scaffold wheels rolled and slid from beneath the employee. The employee fell approximately 6-foot-8-inches to the concrete ground below landing on his back. The employee sustained lacerations and punctures to the back of his head and died.
