Investigation Summary
On May 24, 1994, Employee #1 fell from a 10-foot step ladder resulting in a brain injury. Employee #1, a heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanic for Air Exchange, was replacing a defective reducer in a vehicle exhaust extraction system which was mounted on the ceiling. The employee was near the top of the 10-foot fiberglass stepladder preparing to seal seams and joints on a new reducer. He used a hand-held sealer applicator for this purpose. The ladder tipped over sideways. Employee #1 fell to floor; hit his left back and shoulder; and then hit his head. He lost consciousness. He was hospitalized.
