Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was applying Sheetrock mud to the ceiling wall line in the school's carpenter shop classroom. Employee #1 was standing on a Werner, model 7124-Z, 24 foot heavy duty fiberglass extension ladder. He was using a section of HVAC duct located 180 degrees behind him to hold his mud tray. Employee #1 leaned on the duct when he turned around to scoop up more mud. The duct gave way from the ceiling support and Employee #1 somersaulted off the ladder approximately 15 feet to the concrete floor. Another employee was holding the ladder and did not see Employee #1 fall. Employee #1 came to rest on his back and sustained a serious injury to the back of his head.
