Event: 05/15/1998

Two employees injured in fall when scaffold overturns

Employees #1 and #2 were installing a metal roof with a steep pitch, and had erected a mobile, two-level, tubular welded-frame scaffold from which to work. The scaffolding was placed on plywood and the wheels were locked. They then placed fabricated scaffold decking at a height of 9 to 10 feet above the ground. The employees nailed a metal track the length of one of the decks and placed the feet of a 16 ft ladder into the metal track, resting the top of the ladder against the sloped roof. Employee #2 climbed the ladder to install flashing while Employee #1 stayed on the decking. The scaffold tipped over backward, causing both employees to fall. The scaffolding was not tied to the building or otherwise braced or secured.
