The men were working on a multi-family housing development at 9980 Train Station Circle when they fell from the fourth story at 9:43 a.m., according to South Metro Fire Rescue spokesman Eric Hurst.
“They were on scaffolding on the fourth floor and both fell at the same time, down to the street level,” Hurst said. The men were taken to a hospital.
The U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Englewood office is investigating the accident.
David Nelson, OSHA area director, said his office has so far not determined if the fall was the result of unsafe conditions on the scaffold.
