Abstract: On May 20, 2003, Employee #1, working for a painting contractor, was assigned to prep a two story house for the painting crew. The employee used a polisher attached to the end of an extension stick to smooth out the rough spots on the walls and ceilings of the two story house. As Employee #1 was smoothing out the ceiling on the second story in the hall stairway landing area, he walked backwards and fell off the landing. The guard rail boot was in place, but the 2 ft by 4 ft railing had been removed and not replaced. Employee #1 sustained a broken hip and leg.
