Narrative

While on the second frame of a baker scaffold at a construction site, an employee was tightening screws on pendant light fixtures. The employee leaned against the scaffold to help apply pressure to the screws and the scaffold collapsed. The employee fell approximately 8 feet to the ground and the scaffold landed on top of him. He was hospitalized with two fractured ribs on the right side, a laceration to the liver, and a contusion to the forehead.
