Investigation Summary
At 3:45 p.m. on March 21, 2017, Employee #1 and a coworker were dispatched to a residential home that had been damaged by fire. The employees arrived at the site and began cutting four foot by eight foot plywood sections to board up the windows of the home. The work began on the south side of the house and the employees were working their way around to the east side. The coworker cut the plywood while Employee #1 used an eight foot Werner fiberglass folding ladder to access the windows. The ground in front of the first window was on a slope. Employee #1 tried to lift a piece of the plywood into place, but the ladder kicked out, and he fell to the concrete slab below. The employee sustained a two inch laceration to his head, and his left shoulder was fractured in four places. Employee #1 was hospitalized and received a total shoulder replacement.
