Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 200776433
Event: 05/20/2011
Employee Is Injured in Fall from Carpenter Bracket Scaffold

On May 20, 2011, Employee #1 was working on a carpenter's bracket scaffold that was installed on a pressed particleboard wall at a height of 25 feet, 5 inches above ground level. The scaffold had a 24-inch prefabricated platform and was not equipped with any fall protection systems. The lower support of the right bracket that was facing the building punched through the pressed particle board and became unstable. Employee #1 fell from the unstable scaffold and landed on the ground. Employee #1 sustained a fractured elbow, compressed vertebrae, and other injuries. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to an area hospital, where he was admitted for treatment.
