Investigation Summary
On March 30, 2002, Employees #1 and #2, and four coworkers were extending the frame of a restaurant sign so that a new sign could be installed above it. They were using a fabricated frame scaffold that was five bucks high. The workers extended one side of the frame, and then began to move the scaffold to work on the other side of the frame. To move the scaffold, three employees positioned themselves on one side of it, and three employees were on the other side. The scaffold legs were set on 2 in. by 10 in. boards. The six employees began sliding the entire scaffold on the boards when the top of the scaffold contacted an overhead electrical distribution line that was within 4 ft of the frame of the sign. All six workers received electric shocks. Employees #1 and #2 were killed.
