Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:44 a.m. on January 12, 1998, Employee #1, a carpenter engaged in residential construction, fell from a 20 ft aluminum extension ladder while building a wooden platform in the structure. Employee #1 had climbed to a height of approximately 15 ft when he fell. The ladder was resting on an exterior wall, braced at the base by a second employee. The sections of the extension ladder being used only overlapped by a single rung. The manufacturer recommends an overlap of two rungs. Employee #1 fell to the ground striking his head on a 2-in. by 4-in. stud while falling or at the point of impact on the plywood sub-floor. Employee #1 sustained a traumatic closed head injury and was hospitalized.
