Investigation Summary
On June 20, 2006, Employee #1, with Twin Brothers Construction (a licensed contractor that performed concrete and demolition work), was standing on scaffold platforms attempting to guide a 14 ft by 8 ft wood panel that was being hoisted by a forklift operated by the owner of the company. When the C-clamp used to secure the strap attached to the panel became loose, the panel swung and knocked Employee #1 to the ground. He was hospitalized at Verdugo Hospital for an unspecified fracture. The accident was caused by failure to provide guardrails on the open sides of the scaffold platforms.
