Investigation Summary
On April 9, 2003, Employee #1, a laborer with GSE Construction Company Incorporated was part of a crew that was working on a water treatment system. He was standing on the top of a tank (decant sump) and was asked to remove a 24-foot-to-26-foot extension ladder from the tank. He lifted up on the ladder that was extended above the sump and observed that a rope was missing from the ladder. He stopped and started to climb down the ladder when the top portion collapsed, causing him to fall approximately 15 feet to the bottom of the sump. He was transported to Sutter Solano Medical Center and was later transferred to UC Davis Medical Center where he was hospitalized for eight days. Employee #1 sustained a compound fracture to his left ankle that required surgery.
