Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:25 a.m. on November 1, 2006, a construction worker, Employee #1, was employed by Town Restoration Services, Inc. Employee #1 was working on a two-point suspended scaffold with a coworker, doing exterior building masonry, and waterproofing work. They positioned the scaffold alongside a 4 ft wide ledge that traversed the front of the building at the 16th floor level. The coworker stated that he was not an eyewitness to the accident, but that Employee #1 went onto the 16th floor ledge without tying-off his lifeline. He fell off the ledge, landing on the sidewalk canopy, and was killed. The northeast corner of the 16th floor had a stationary pipe scaffold and stair tower. Employees apparently had been walking on the 16th floor ledge to get to the stair tower in order to go to the roof. There they would ride the freight elevator to the street level. The building was a 19-story building.
