Scaffolding Collapse Injures Two Workers

At approximately 4:30 p.m. on February 11, 2009, Employee #1 and Employee #2 with Augusta Contracting were installing vinyl siding on the side of a two story single-family residence that was under construction. Employee #1 and Employee #2 were working from Bil-Jax brand fabricated frame scaffolding, at an elevation of approximately twenty-five feet. The scaffold collapsed causing both Employee #1 and Employee #2 to fall approximately twenty-five feet to the ground below. Employee #1 was treated on the scene and then transported to Fairmont General Hospital where Employee #1 was treated for a broken wrist and released. Employee #2 was transported by Health Net to Ruby Memorial Hospital. Employee #2 was treated for head trauma, lacerations to the face and a broken jaw. Employee #2 remained in the hospital for two weeks.
