Description:On February 7, 1994, a 53-year-old male brick mason was fatally injured after falling while climbing down from a scaffold. The incident occurred at a construction site where the victim was laying blocks from a 6 foot 10-inch-high scaffold. The victim was starting to climb down onto a 6-foot stepladder that had been leaned against the cross braces of the scaffold when he lost his balance and fell to the cement floor. He died of his injuries three days later. NJDOH FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar incidents in the future, these safety guidelines should be followed: 1. Employers should ensure that scaffolds are provided with a reliable means of access. 2. Employers should develop and implement a comprehensive written safety program. 3. Employers must ensure that scaffolds are properly erected and maintained before use. 4. Employers should conduct regularly scheduled and unscheduled safety inspections at each jobsite.
