Abstract: At 1:55 p.m. on February 18, 2021, Employee #1 was using a 24-foot Titan extension ladder to zip-tie cable to a 15-18 foot beam for a newly installed fire alarm system. The concrete floor below was covered with fine dust, dirt, and debris, creating a slippery surface. As Employee #1 was descending the ladder, its legs slid away from the beam, causing the ladder and the employee to fall to the ground. Employee #1 landed face down and sustained a compound fracture to the right ankle. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital, where he was admitted and treated for the injury.
