He was descending a fixed ladder while carrying two five-gallon empty plastic buckets in his right hand and gripping the ladder's left handrail with his left hand. The worker momentarily lost his grip on the handrail. As he tried to reestablish his grip, he lost his balance. He fell approximately 15 feet to the floor. He sustained a fatal concussion.
