Abstract: At 12:30 p.m. on February 27, 2018, Employee #1 was painting a fascia board, using a ladder. The ladder that he was using was placed on the soft earth and was not secure. The employee was holding a one gallon paint can as he climbed higher on the ladder. As he stepped on the step below the top cap, he realized that his ladder was too short for the job. He was unable to maintain the recommended three points of contact while ascending with the paint can, and fell. Employee #1 sustained a fractured elbow and wrist. He was hospitalized for treatment.
