Investigation Summary
At 2:00 p.m. on January 21, 2020, Employee #1, a laborer employed by a construction company, was engaged in exterior carpentry work at a multifamily residential development. He was using an extension ladder to access the top of a carport to retrieve materials (door flashing) needed for the day's work. As Employee #1 transferred from the ladder to the carport's roof, the ladder slipped out from under him, causing him to fall and strike the pavement, a fall height of 8 feet 7 inches. The employee was hospitalized for treatment of a spinal injury and a fractured right elbow. The investigation determined that, prior to use, the extension ladder had been pulled apart, and only one part of the ladder was being used. This extension ladder was never tagged or withdrawn from service for repair or destruction. The ladder had proper footing in place. The employee, who had been employed by this employer for two weeks, had not been provided training in the safe use of a ladder.
