Three employees were working on a scaffold attached on the fourth floor of a hotel, when the cables supporting the scaffold suddenly failed and the scaffold collapsed. The scaffold, approximately 17 feet long and 15 feet wide, was attached to the building and was being used to transfer materials into the building. At the time of the collapse, the employees were moving materials from the scaffold into the building. The employees and materials fell 10 feet to the concrete floor below resulting in three employees being injured.
