Investigation Summary
On April 5, 2002, Employee #1, a mason, was working on a construction site for a school. Employee #1 let himself down through the walk planks on the outrigger and was attempting to climb down one level on the scaffold to egress. The ladder being used for access/egress to the scaffold was on the third level. While climbing down on the end rail, Employee #1 lost his footing and fell 26 ft between the scaffold and the wall being constructed. The access ladder on the third level was a 32-ft extension ladder which was not long enough to reach the fourth level of the scaffold where the block was being laid. All the members of the crew stated that they got down from the scaffold the same way as Employee #1 was attempting to when he fell. Employee #1 sustained a fractured neck and head injury and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
