Abstract: At approximately 9:00 a.m. on February 26, 2014, Employee #1, a painter employed by Palisades Construction, Inc., was working at a residential building. He was working from an 8-foot ladder set up outside the building and caulking a beam located approximately 11.25 feet above the ground. As he stood on the step below the top cap, Employee #1 fell to the ground. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to Cedar Sinai Medical Center, where he was admitted and treated for compound leg fractures. This workplace injury was investigated by Cal/OSHA. The investigation determined that Employee #1 had worked for the employer for approximately six years. His duties included, but were not limited to, painting. When interviewed, Employee #1 stated that the floor where the ladder was set up was not level.
