Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on January 30, 2008, Employee #1, a stucco installer, was on the top level of a 16 ft wide by 18 ft high tubular scaffold. It was positioned on the thirteenth floor roof level, 146 ft 9-1/4 in. above the ground. He was scoring the styrofoam base for the stucco when a high gust of wind caused the scaffold to collapse. Employee #1 fell approximately 140 ft to the third floor roof level. He was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The scaffold was found to be improperly anchored.
