Abstract: On October 26, 2010, an employee was working for a plumbing, heating, and air conditioning contractor. He was on a ladder to gain access to a roof, and he was approximately 15 feet above ground. He was wearing loafer-style dress shoes. The weather consisted of a light mist. The ladder was made of glass fiber, with metal rungs. The worker fell off the ladder and landed on the gravel- and wood-covered ground below. The Wallingford, CT, police department and fire department responded, and the employee was transported by ambulance to Yale-New Haven Hospital. The employee sustained fractures of the pelvis, arm and about two vertebrae. He was still in the hospital as of November 2, 2010.
