Employee Is Killed in Fall When Scaffold Breaks in Two

On August 8, 2006, Employee #1 and a coworker were working for a contractor that specialized in renovations. They were on a 50-foot long, 5-section, modular scaffold that was suspended at two points. The scaffold was 40 feet in the air, when it broke into two pieces. The coworker was saved by his harness, but Employee #1 did not have his rope grab device tied to his lifeline. He fell approximately 40 feet to his death.
