Investigation Summary
On July 22, 2008, two employees were installing vinyl siding on the third story of Unit B of a townhouse under construction. The two employees exited the pump jack scaffold from which they were working when a rainstorm occurred. Once the rain stopped, the two employees accessed the scaffold to resume work. Employee #1 stepped on a wet piece of vinyl siding and slipped from the scaffold platform, falling approximately 24 feet and striking his head on a construction dumpster before striking the ground. The pump jack scaffold was not equipped with guardrails, and the employees were not using personal fall arrest systems. Employee #1 was transported by ambulance to an area hospital, where he was declared dead on July 23, 2008 at 4:00 a.m.
