Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:30 a.m. on August 5, 2002, Employee #1, a maintenance worker for Santa Maria Town Center East, an indoor shopping mall, was using a ladder to trim ivy from the outside wall of the building. He had leaned an 8-ft Louisville AH number 1008 ladder into the ivy and had climbed about half way up. Employee #1 was holding a hedge trimmer in both hands and was beginning to cut the ivy when the top of the ladder shifted and he fell to the ground. His left foot struck the edge of a trench and slipped into the trench. Employee #1 was working alone but a witness to the accident went for help. Employee #1 suffered a fractured left ankle and was transported to a medical center, where he was hospitalized for three days.
