Investigation Summary
At 2:00 p.m. on August 9, 2018, Employee #1, a Laborer, was removing hangers from a beam within a single family home remodel in San Diego, CA. At the time of the accident, Employee #1 setup an extension ladder to continue removing the hangers. While using a pry tool, he stood approximately four feet above the cement slab. As Employee #1 leaned left to reach another hanger, the ladder slipped to the side. As a result, Employee #1 then lost his balance, fell from the ladder, and landed on his back on top of a power strip on the ground beneath the ladder. Employee #1 was transported by Emergency Medical Service (EMS) to the hospital and suffered a fractured vertebrae. Afterwards, he was then hospitalized for more than 24 hours.
