Abstract: At approximately 10:30 a.m. on January 3, 2012, Employee #1 was on a 12 ft fiberglass stepladder installing a security camera on an exterior brick wall. The stepladder was in the closed position, placed on a ramp with an incline of 5 degrees. Wind was gusting to approximately 20 miles per hour. While Employee #1 was drilling mounting holes with a hammer drill, the ladder became unstable and its feet slid backwards. Employee #1 fell to the ground, fractured his neck and severed his spinal cord. He was transported to Reading Hospital, where he was placed on life support. At approximately 3:20 p.m., Employee #1 was removed from life support and died.
