Two employees injured in fall when scaffold collapses

Employees #1 and #2, both plasterers, were working from an approximately 50 ft high, 5 ft long by 7 ft wide single-tower, fabricated frame scaffold. Before finishing for the day, they removed two braces at the bottom to use elsewhere. The following morning they walked up the stairs in the interior of the building and climbed out a window onto the scaffold. The scaffold collapsed with Employees #1 and #2 on it; both workers sustained injuries that required hospitalization.
