Abstract: On January 10, 2005, Employee #1 was working for a company that manufactures industrial soap and other cleaning products. On the day of the incident, the employer was retrieving a box of empty containers by climbing a metal extension ladder to reach the second level of a rack. As Employee #1 was climbing the ladder, it slipped and he fell 4 ft. When the ladder slipped, the employee's right foot was caught between two rungs of the ladder. As a result, the employee suffered a fractured right ankle and was hospitalized. The employee was holding the boxes, and not the ladder, during his descent.
