Investigation Summary
On January 22, 2002, Employee #1 was in the process of measuring for a gutter to be installed when the twenty foot extension ladder he was using slipped out from underneath him. The concrete walkway on which the ladder was set up had been cleared of ice and snow earlier that morning. As the day went on, the snow melted and refroze, causing a slippery surface for the ladder to be set up on. Employee #1 rode the ladder down as the ladder dragged down against the side of the building. Employee #1 sustained head injuries and was transported to a local hospital.
