Investigation Summary
On August 12, 2013, Employee #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7 and #8 and other coworkers were working from scaffolding and laying concrete blocks on the wall of a new high school gym. The scaffold was 20 ft high and 110 ft long. While the employees were occupying the scaffolding, a coworker used a forklift to lift one corner of the scaffold with a sling connected to its forks. The coworker did this so that gravel could be placed under the sill that the scaffolding rested upon. As the corner of the scaffold was raised, the scaffolding became unstable and tipped over. All of the employees fell to the lower level and received unspecified injuries. They were transported to a medical center. Employee #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 required medical treatment and care and were then hospitalized. Employee #6, #7 and #8 underwent treatment as well; however, after receiving their treatment, they were released from the hospital.
