Abstract: At approximately 11:30 a.m. on July 19, 2012, an employee, of Abiqua Electric, LLC, was working from a three-step, 4-foot stepladder inside a multifamily building. He was drilling "trunk" holes in the ceiling joists. The stepladder suddenly collapsed. The employee tried to catch his balance. As he stumbled backwards, he bumped against some doors that were leaning against a wall behind him. He instinctively grabbed one of the doors with his left hand. The door had a protruding metal flange, and as the employee's hand slid down the flange, the flange cut his ring finger and his pinky finger. These injuries required surgery. The employee was not hospitalized.
