Event description
Employee falls and dies when makeshift platform breaks
Investigation abstract
At 3:00 p.m. on October 22, 2021, an employee worked to install an overhead support beam in a kitchen nook area. The employee used a fourteen-foot long two by six-inch piece of lumber, nailed on one side, as a makeshift scaffold platform to access the area. The employee stopped while crossing the platform to use a pneumatic nail gun to install framing near the center of the board. As the employee applied pressure to nail the framing overhead, the board broke and the employee fell. The employee was transported by emergency medical services to the hospital, where the employee died from the injuries.
