Abstract: On October 4, 2002, Employee #1 was using a fiberglass ladder to gain access to a roof for servicing an air conditioning unit. The building was 16-feet tall and the ladder, he was using, was extended 4 rungs above the main section, equaling 16-feet in total length. This caused the ladder to be approximately 1-foot below the edge of the roof. For some reason, the ladder started to kick out. Employee #1 jumped away from the ladder, landing initially on his feet. Employee #1 was hospitalized and determined dead due to injuries sustained.
