Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a construction laborer, was installing brick veneer wall insulation and wall ties. When he stepped onto an unsecured ladder to descend, he fell. Employee #1 first hit the roof deck, then fell to the concrete sidewalk. He sustained a fractured right arm and a bruised right side, and required 17 stitches in his chin. The 14 ft aluminum Louisville ladder was the single bottom section of a two part 28 ft extension ladder and used to access and egress a flat roof used as a work staging area. The roof was 9 ft 4 in. above the sidewalk. The ladder siderails were resting on smooth metal roof fascia and the bottom pads were resting on smooth concrete sidewalk. The ladder was not secured from movement at the top or at the bottom. The employer did not provide ladder training or general safety training. No protective equipment was in use.
