Abstract: At approximately 6:00 a.m. on January 29, 1998, Employee #1 was steam cleaning a kitchen ventilation hood at Guild's Lake Inn Restaurant in Portland. He placed a ladder on the outside of the one-story building and climbed to the roof carrying a 1.5 gallon sprayer, two-thirds full of caustic soda. After spraying the hood, he returned to the ground, got the steam cleaning hose, and returned to the roof. At some point Employee #1 fell; he was found on the ground by a coworker, with blood coming from his head and ear. Employee #1 sustained a fractured skull and clavicle and was transported to the hospital.
