Investigation Summary
Employees #1 and #2, both masonry workers, were on a wheeled, 8 ft tall mobile scaffold system, grouting the top of a newly built 12 ft tall by 65 ft long concrete block wall. Employee #1 was under the scaffold and Employee #2 was on it when a sudden storm and high winds struck the site. A gust exceeding 50 mph caused the entire free standing wall to collapse, crushing and killing Employee #1. Employee #2 rode the rolling scaffold across the floor until it struck another wall and partially overturned. He fell onto the concrete deck and sustained injuries to his left wrist and ankle.
