The injured victims, whose identities were not released, were taken to local hospitals for treatment, officials said.
The accident took place on Wednesday, May 7 at about 2:30 p.m. when the men were working near the roof of a private home at 275 West Beech St., according to Lt. Bruce Meyer of the Long Beach Police Department.
"The three workers fell with the equipment," said Meyer. "Somehow it bent. The injuries are not believed to be life-threatening."
The construction crew was making repairs to the house when the scaffolding gave way, plunging the three workers.
Two victims were taken to South Nassau Communities Hospital in Oceanside and the other was flown to Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow, officials said. Their conditions and the extent of their injuries were not available as of press time.
