Investigation Summary
At 11:00 a.m. on July 31, 2021, Employee #1, a maintenance employee, was working from the second or third rung of a six-foot fiberglass A-frame ladder while using an 8-10 pound sledgehammer to demolish a cinderblock wall in the basement level of the facility. As the employee struck the wall, it collapsed, striking the base of the ladder and causing the employee to fall backwards. Coworkers found the employee and ladder on the ground. The employee sustained a broken collar bone and traumatic brain injury and was hospitalized. The ladder was not secured to prevent displacement during work activities.
