Investigation Summary
On June 28, 2013, Employee #1, an apprentice ironworker, and a coworker were inserting rebar into unfilled exterior walls of a three-story building under construction. After insertion of the rebar, the walls were then pneumatically filled with concrete. They were working from the third level of a scaffold and at a height of 17.33 ft to place the rebar into the walls. There was a 1.08 ft gap in between the inside of the scaffold platform and the building. Employee #1 was descending a scaffold ladder, after a coworker had descended it, when he took a step backwards (toward the inside of the building) and fell through the unguarded back of the scaffold and a 25 ft high wall opening, which was behind scaffolding. The height of his fall was approximately 17 ft. He sustained head and wrist injuries in the fall. Employee #1 was transported to a medical center, where he underwent treatment on his multiple injuries and was then hospitalized.
