Investigation Summary
On January 22, 2008, Employee #1, of Kusler Masonry, Inc., was on a crew erecting a tubular welded-frame scaffold next to a mobile scaffold belonging to Burchick Construction Company, Inc. The mobile scaffold was wrapped in plastic for winter protection. A high wind caused the mobile scaffold to roll into a block wall, whereupon it tipped over onto the tubular welded-frame scaffold, causing it to collapse as well. Employee #1 was on the tubular scaffold when it was struck by the mobile scaffold. He fell approximately 25 ft and died of head and neck injuries sustained in the accident.
