Investigation Summary
At 8:00 a.m. on October 5, 2020, Employee #1 and four coworkers including a foreman, employed by a construction company specializing in concrete tanks, were painting interior joints of a two million gallon water storage tank. They were working from a scaffold mounted on an employer-fabricated rolling base. As the coworkers attempted to move the scaffold, one of the scaffold wheels slipped into a 9-inch deep hole in the concrete floor. The scaffold tipped over. Employee #1 fell 30 feet to the concrete surface, sustained blunt force traumatic injuries, and was killed. His four coworkers fell from lower levels of the scaffold. The coworkers received treatment for their injuries, but none required hospitalization.
