Investigation Summary
At 12:55 p.m. on December 5, 2019, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was climbing a 15-foot vertical ladder attached to a scaffold at a four-story multifamily building. Debris netting obstructed access to the scaffold guardrails. As Employee #1 attempted to transition to the scaffold, he became entangled in the debris netting and fell, a fall height of 10 feet. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital, where he was treated for multiple injuries, including neck and spinal fractures, paralysis, and severe lacerations to the head. He died at the hospital on December 20, 2019.
