Employee killed in 23 ft fall from ladder in pump station

Employee #1 and a coworker were in a pump station checking guiderails for pumps. While the coworker went to get a rope to secure a portable extension ladder that had been set up in the pump station, Employee #1 started to descend the ladder. The locking devices on the ladder were not secured and when Employee #1 stepped on the ladder, the hooks slid about 6 inches to the next rung. Employee #1 lost his balance, fell 23 ft to the bottom of the pump station, and was killed.
