This report is being submitted by [Your Name], the site supervisor for [Your Company Name]. The incident involved a worker, [Worker Name], who fell from a height due to improper scaffolding.
III. Detailed Account of the Incident
The incident occurred during the routine inspection of the scaffolding structures. The worker, [Worker Name], was performing his duties on the scaffolding when it unexpectedly gave way, causing him to fall approximately 15 feet to the ground. The scaffolding was later inspected and found to be improperly secured. The failure likely arose from insufficient bracing, which led to unstable support.

Medical assistance was promptly requested, and [Worker Name] was transported to [Hospital Name] for medical examination and treatment. Emergency contacts were notified, and a preliminary investigation began on-site to gather evidence and interview witnesses.

Both witnesses corroborated the sequence of events, highlighting the sudden collapse of the scaffolding. They also confirmed that safety harnesses were being worn, but the structural failure was unexpected.
VI. Investigation Findings

Additionally, a thorough audit will be conducted to ensure compliance with all safety regulations.
