Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and coworkers were instructed to carry 3 ft wide by 5 ft long by 2 ft tall bundles of mineral wool insulation from the first-floor storage area to the installation area. He accessed the installation area by climbing a 17 ft 5 in. tall by 4 ft wide job-built ladder. Employee #1 had carried several of the approximately 30 lb bundles up the ladder when he lost his balance and fell 14 ft onto concrete. He sustained multiple fractures to his arm, for which he was hospitalized. A flight of permanent stairs had been installed one month earlier and provided an appropriate alternative means of access to the work area. The employer was cited for an apparent violation of 29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(22).
