Investigation Summary
At or about 2:30 p.m. on October 10, 1994, Employees #1, #2, and a coworker were performing roofing work while standing on 16 ft high pump jack scaffold platforms. For an unknown reason, the planks became spongy; the men heard a loud crack; and the scaffold planks with the three employees fell to the ground. Employee #1, the owner, suffered serious back injuries and Employee #2 suffered a broken right ankle. The coworker sustained only bruises. Employees #1 and #2 were transported to Community Medical Center in Scranton, PA, where Employee #1 was admitted and Employee #2 was treated and released. It is believed that one of the four 2 by 4 poles broke, causing the planking to collapse.
