The scaffold platform was at approximately 150 feet of height when another employee went to provide maintenance to the scaffold. The maintenance work consisted in changing one of the wheels that maintained elevated the platform. Meanwhile the plasterers kept working while the mechanic was repairing the scaffold. The scaffold Trademark was Hek, model MS Pro Max. It was a rainy day with strong winds when the mechanic took off the wheel to replace it with a new one. At this moment the scaffold platform came down in a free fall and the plasterers inside the platform died. The employer did not maintain a record of employee training instructions for at least three years as required by ANSI/SIA A92-1993 para 7.7.2. Hazard: Scaffold failure, breaks or fell while employees were using it. En el Proyecto de construccion Atlantis, en la parte posterior del edificio habia un andamio de mastil que era usado por albaniles para poder alcanzar la pared exterior del piso 18 donde los albaniles se encontraban empanetando. La plataforma del andamio de mastil se encontraban a una altura de aproximada de 150 pies cuando otro empleado fue a realizar trabajos de mantenimiento al andamio. El trabajo de mantenimiento consistia en cambiar una de las ruedas que mantenia la plataforma elevada. Los albaniles se mantuvieron trabajando mientras el mecanico se encontraba reparando el andamio. El andamio era marca Hek, Modelo MS Pro Max. El dia estaba lluvioso con vientos fuertes al momento que el mecanico saco la rueda para remplazarla por una nueva. En ese momento el andamio cayo en caida libre y los albaniles en la plataforma murieron. El patrono no mantuvo un registro de instrucciones de adiestramiento de los empleados de por lo menos de tres anos como lo requiere el ANSI/SIA A92-1993 para 7.7.2.
