Investigation Summary
Employee #1, of University Mechanical & Engineering Contractors, was approximately 15 ft above the floor installing overhead return air ducts in a HVAC system. He was standing on a metal single-stage, 20 ft long extension ladder. When Employee #1 pushed the work to the left, the top of the ladder moved to the right. He fell, sustaining a concussion and scrapes on his back. The cause of the accident was management's failure to ensure that the ladder was tied off and secured to prevent sideways movement at the top.
