Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:10 a.m. on August 9, 2000, Employee #1, a drywall finisher, was applying drywall tape and spackling to a gypsum wall. He was working from an 8 ft stepladder placed on a 5 ft 5 in. high baker's scaffold, . The scaffold was against the wall and three of its four wheels were locked. The stepladder was folded and leaning against the wall on which Employee #1 was working when its base kicked out, causing the scaffold to topple. He fell approximately 13 ft, sustaining severe bruising to his head, wrists, and hands. Subsequent investigation found that (1) the employer did not have a rule against placing stepladders on scaffolds; (2) employees were not trained in scaffold safety; and (3) the scaffold had not been inspected for defects by a competent person.
