Investigation Summary
On July 6, 2010, three male carpenters were replacing the roof on a two-story commercial building. The carpenters, whose ages ranged from 24-57, were working from tubular-welded frame scaffolding which was located at the second floor level. With the majority of the new trusses in place, a loud noise was heard and the trusses began collapsing along with the adjacent wall of the structure. All three workers received multiple injuries as they were struck-by and caught between falling truss members, masonry units and the scaffolds themselves. Among the injuries sustained were: a foot fracture, nerve damage to the hand and arm motor function, and numerous bruises and laceration. All were transported to the emergency room, but none were hospitalized. Site inspection revealed a number of deficiencies in the truss construction dealing with stabilization, bracing and anchoring to the building's masonry walls.
