Final narrative
A stucco crew set up two A-frame scaffold frames inside a 10x10 enclosed porch area and placed some planks between the frames. The ground that the scaffold was on was not level or solid. A worker climbed on the planks between the frames and began applying stucco to the walls. One of the frames slipped and fell over causing the worker to fall to the ground breaking his right arm in a manner that requires surgery. He also suffered scrapes and bruises.
