Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a pipefitter, was working alone in a room on the north side of a courthouse construction site. He was on the sixth or seventh rung of a 10 ft stepladder and was reaching with both hands to piping and ductwork above him when he tried to take another step up the ladder. As he did so, Employee #1 inadvertently kicked the ladder out from under himself and fell approximately 6 ft onto the concrete floor. He suffered three fractured lumbar vertebrae, and was transported by ambulance to the hospital.
