Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:15 a.m. on September 5, Employee #1, who was hired to do masonry work on an existing cinder block wall, was on a mobile scaffold with locking wheels. The unit was positioned under a canopy that extended out over the sidewalk in front of the building's entrance. As Employee #1 was working, an outrigger brace gave way and he fell approximately 12 ft between the building and the scaffold, landing on a concrete-filled bumper pipe over the garage door entrance. An attending paramedic reported that Employee #1 was breathing only slightly when he arrived on the scene; he died shortly thereafter. The bumper pipe had been placed there to prevent automobiles from damaging the garage door entrance.
