Investigation Summary
On January 28, 2011, a 27-year-old employee was sponge coating the stucco on the exterior of a building from the second level of a tubular welded frame scaffold. He fell approximately 13 feet and 5 inches to ground level. One witness working in close proximity to the employee said he partially viewed the employee climb down from the 3rd level platform onto the 2nd level platform and continued to work the stucco. After a brief period, the witness claimed he heard a noise that caused him to look over at the employee as he struck the cross braces on the adjacent scaffolding that came to rest on the ground below. Emergency medical services were called by another contractor when they heard a call for help. The employee was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead 25 minutes after the fall, due to blunt force trauma to the left chest.
