Employee fractures bones, injures liver in fall from ladder

At 2:05 p.m. on August 12, 2020, an employee working as a construction laborer for a painting contractor was standing on an extension ladder removing a nail from a facia board. The employee overreached, lost his balance and fell to the ground below. The employee was hospitalized to treat multiple fractures including his arms, fingers, hips, and chest and internal injuries to his liver. The narrative indicates that heat may have been a factor in the incident.
