Abstract: At approximately 11:37 a.m. on October 3, 2007, Employee #1 was picking olives from a 10-ft orchard ladder, when he reportedly fell approximately 8 ft at a jobsite at Orland, CA. The Sheriff's Department responded to a call about an employee who had fallen and was unable to move. Employee #1 was taken by ambulance to Enloe Medical Center in Chico, CA, where he was treated for minor injuries (i.e., a strain or sprain) and was released. No one witnessed the fall of Employee #1. The ladder was inspected and found to be in good condition. According to the employer, Employee #1 had received training on ladder safety. The Glenn County Sheriff's Office notified the District about the accident at approximately 4:52 p.m. on October 4, 2007. Because the employer and Sheriff's Department were unable to obtain any current contact information for Employee #1, the Division was unable to interview him. The Division did not propose citations at the time their report was completed.
