Investigation Summary
On November 8, 2007, Employee #1 was using a single point suspension scaffold. He had raised it to a height of approximately 90 ft when he heard a grinding sound in the motor. Employee #1 was attempting to bump past the grinding sound when the wire rope snapped and the scaffold fell to the pavement. Employee #1 sustained facial injuries, for which he was hospitalized. He was wearing a personal fall arrest system, which saved him from being killed or from suffering more serious injuries. The wire rope had pre-existing damage, but it had not been inspected prior to use.
