Investigation Summary
Employees #1 and #2 were on a scaffold installing sheet metal fascia when the scaffold began to pull away from the structure. The scaffold did not totally collapse, but the two workers fell between 20 and 24 ft onto some plywood decking. Employee #1 suffered a broken back, and Employee #2 sustained substantial internal injuries that required five weeks of hospitalization. The scaffold ties on the end frame had been inadvertently cut by a dismantling crew, which caused the scaffold to peel away from the building structure.
