Investigation Summary
On March 3, 2008, Employee #1 (a foreman) and a coworker for Paramount Scaffold were erecting a frame scaffold on the east side of a multi-story steel-frame building that was under construction. Employee #1 and the coworker were staging scaffolding components on the roof of the Seminar Room and were going to erect a scaffold adjacent the east side exterior wall. As the coworker was handing scaffold planks to Employee #1, Employee #1 stepped backwards onto a piece of metal decking that was covering a hatch cover. The cover became displaced, and Employee #1 fell through the hatch opening down 13 feet to the concrete floor. Employee #1 sustained a fractured left elbow that required hospitalization and surgery. The hatch cover was neither properly labeled nor secured as required.
