Abstract: At approximately 2:30 p.m. on April 2, 2011, Employee #1, an employee of Russ' Bee Removal, was removing bees from a chimney of a two story, single family home. Employee #1 used a 32 ft aluminum extension ladder to get on to the roof and a 6 ft Werner 'A' frame aluminum ladder to reach the top of the chimney. The 6 ft ladder used to reach the chimney was not secured. After completing the task, Employee #1 descended from the 6 ft ladder. The unsecured ladder slipped from its position. Employee #1 lost his balance and fell approximately 25 ft to the ground. Employee #1 sustained a broken right humerus, broken ribs and a collapsed lung. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
