Abstract: On September 23, 2013, Employee #1, a journeyman plumber, was working for a plumbing company and providing services at a residential building. To unclog a drain, he needed to access the roof of the building. Employee #1 used an extension ladder to go up to the roof of the one-story house. After completing his work, he started descending the ladder, when it slipped out. Employee #1 fell onto a concrete driveway below and fractured his left arm. Emergency medical personnel were summoned. They arrived and transported him to a medical center, where he received treatment and was then hospitalized.
