| On September 26, 2007, Employees #1 and #2 and coworkers were bricking a residential home under construction. Employees #1 and #2 were situated on the fourth buck of a Universal tubular welded-frame, walk-through scaffold. Employee #2, the company owner, began to move an end support frame at the east side of the scaffold where Employee #1, a worker, was "pointing" the brick. A coworker on third level felt the scaffold shift, and he jumped onto the lower roof just before the fourth stage collapsed. Employees #1 and #2 fell between 27 and 30 ft to the ground. Employee #1 landed about 10 ft from the scaffold, striking his head on the asphalt driveway. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Employee #2 was transported to a local hospital, where he was listed in critical condition. | |||||||
