Investigation Summary
On September 13, 2007, Employee #1 climbed the central supporting ladder of a ladder jack scaffold to remove some roof shingles. The top of the ladder was supported by the facia plate of the eave. He was using a spud to reach over one of the scaffold picks to remove the lowest course of shingles when the top of the ladder suddenly slipped. It dropped approximately 2 ft vertically and fell inward toward the face of the building. The ladder's base simultaneously kicked out approximately the same distance. These shifts caused Employee #1 to lose his balance, and he fell approximately 18 ft to the ground. He apparently lost consciousness momentarily and was later found to have sustained a hairline fracture of his pelvis. The scaffold was improperly bridged with two picks supported by three ladders.
