Abstract: Employee #1, of R.V. Specialties, Inc., a company that maintains and repairs motor homes and recreational vehicles, was removing the roof from a motor home so that a windshield could be replaced. While descending an 8 ft A-frame aluminum ladder, Employee #1 slipped and fell. He sustained a cracked second lumbar vertebra on his tailbone. The cause of the accident was management's failure to provide the proper ladder to ascend and descend the roofs of the motor homes. In addition, the ladder was not tied off at the top to prevent movement.
