He placed a 20-foot aluminum extension ladder against the top shelf of a 9-foot-tall metal shelf unit. He was using the 20-foot ladder in the nested position, which reduced the length of the ladder to 10 feet. As Employee #1 was climbing the ladder, it slid to the side. Employee #1 fell, striking his head on the floor. He was transported to Ryder Trauma Center, where he died on February 28, 2007.
