Abstract: Employee #1 leaned an aluminum extension ladder against a 12 in. tall steel I-beam that was positioned approximately 15 ft above a concrete floor. He then climbed the ladder and proceeded to paint the steel beam. Apparently, the feet of the ladder kicked out and the ladder fell. Employee #1 landed on the concrete floor and fractured his pelvis. The ladder was not secured at the top or bottom to prevent displacement.
