Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:00 p.m. on August 8, 2011, Employee #1, a technician, was troubleshooting a problem that a residential customer was having with their telephone service. He used a 14-ft ladder, which he placed onto the customer's fireplace, to access and replace the telecommunication lines to the resident. After replacing the line, Employee #1 descended the ladder with a cordless drill in his left hand, when he lost his balance and fell from the ladder. He fell approximately 10 ft and sustained four right side costal fractures, a right pulmonary contusion and a pneumothorax. Emergency medical personnel were summoned. They arrived and transported him to a medical center, where he underwent treatment and was hospitalized.
