Abstract: At approximately 8:30 a.m. on October 18, 2004, Employee #1, a senior custodian, was climbing up an extension ladder, a Werner, Type 1A, 20 ft, using only his left hand while carrying hand towels, rags, under his right arm. He intended to hand the rags to the supervisor who was standing on a 10-ft-high roof near the top of the ladder. Employee #1's right arm was amputated just below the elbow as a child. He either slipped or lost his balance and fell backwards on his right arm. He sustained a comminuted dislocation of his right elbow and was hospitalized.
