Abstract: At approximately 2:00 p.m., on November 12, 2012, Employee #1 of Sierra Telephone Company, Inc. was injured while performing duties as a system installer for the telecommunications company. Employee # 1had climbed partway up an extension ladder that was leaning against a sea-tran container, and was lifting a portable ladder rack that was attached to the roof of a van. While lifting the rack, the load shifted the ladder's center of gravity. This contributed to the ladder becoming unstable and Employee #1's fall to the ground. Employee #1 suffered a broken left wrist and humerus. He was transported to Clovis Community Hospital.
