Abstract: At 10:30 a.m. on February 23, 2020, an employee was climbing a steel fixed ladder to access a roof to clean up debris from a chimney fire. The ladder was approximately 12-feet tall with rungs 16-inches wide spaced 12-inches apart. A coworker had climbed the ladder before the employee and opened the roof access. The employee was not carrying anything and was familiar with the ladder as he had climbed it the night before. The employee fell approximately 8-10 feet to the ground. Emergency services were called, and the employee was transported to the hospital, where he was admitted and treated for a fractured first lumbar vertebra.
