Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:30 p.m. on May 16, 1991, Employee #1, a handyman for RGB Systems (dba Extron Electronics), was installing a 4 ft by 12 ft drywall panel in a new office under construction. He was standing on the fourth step of a 6 ft stepladder trying to move the drywall toward the wood framing. The panel became stuck in a wood frame member on the ceiling, and tipped the ladder, along with Employee #1, to one side. Employee #1 fell approximately 4 ft onto the concrete floor and sustained injuries that required hospitalization. He had been hired on January 8, 1990, and received training in the safety aspects of his job. Adjustment of the drywall should have been done from the floor, not from the ladder.
