Employee injured in fall from scaffold

At approximately 3:15 p.m. on October 18, 2000, Employee #1, an engineer for Pankow Residential Builders, and a pump operator were using a remote control box to operate a concrete boom pump. Employee #1 was standing on top of a rolling scaffold, assisting laborers in moving the extra length of concrete hose over to the next wall. The boom pump operator was raising the boom slightly to help move the hose when the boom caught the scaffold railing and started to lift it off the ground. Employee #1 jumped off the scaffold, grabbing the top rail of the adjacent wall. The railing broke and he fell backward, away from the wall, striking the back of his head on a concrete slab.
