Abstract: Employee #1, a facilities manager, was on the roof of a building, inspecting an air conditioning system. He was starting to descend the fixed ladder from the roof when his foot slipped off the ladder rung. As he fell, a ring on his right hand caught on the top corner of a metal security door that was there to prevent unauthorized use of the ladder. The flesh on his right ring finger was stripped to the bone, and his finger was surgically amputated at the hospital.
