Employee #1 was helping to erect a scaffold structure but was not working directly on the structure. He climbed a vertical, fixed ladder and stepped off the ladder onto an insulated steam pipe that was wrapped with very smooth, slippery plastic. Employee #1 was trying to walk along the pipe when his foot slipped and he lost his balance. He fell approximately 8 ft onto the concrete floor, injuring his head, back, and hip.
