Investigation Summary
At 11:35 a.m. on May 2, 2018, an employee was installing solar panels on a roof when he fell from a extension ladder. The employee had paced a ladder in position to reach the second story of a house in order to push a conduit through a hole in the roof awning, but did not secure the ladder to the house. The employee reached outside of the ladder in attempt to get the conduit through at the proper angle when the ladder fell over, and the employee fell two stories to the ground. The employee sustained bilateral ankle fractures, as well as various contusions and abrasions on his arms.
