Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:30 p.m. on March 17, 2014, Employee #1, a carpenter employed by Circle M Contractors, Inc., was engaged in carpentry work at the construction site for a new residential building. He was installing bracket scaffolding on the exterior of a second-story residence. Employee #1 installed one of the brackets for the scaffolding on two temporary wood braces nailed to the top and bottom of a window sill frame instead of attaching the bracket directly to the structure. When Employee #1 stepped onto the scaffolding planks, the temporary braces gave way. The braces fell into the window opening. Employee #1 and the scaffold planks fell approximately 17 feet to the ground below. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to Palomar Hospital, where he was admitted and treated for multiple injuries, including a fractured left hip and injuries to the arm and head. The employer reported this event to Cal/OSHA at approximately 4:45 p.m. on March 17, 2014. Cal/OSHA opened its investigation on April 29, 2014.
