Employee fractures ribs in fall with ladder

On January 4, 2002, Employee #1, of Benton Electric, Inc., was using a 10 ft stepladder to drill a hole in the wood framing of a building under construction in preparation for running conduit. As he was working, he shifted his weight to give himself better leverage. To do this, Employee #1 placed his left foot on a wooden fire break in the wall that unexpectedly gave way. He started to lose his balance and slid his right foot over to a point that the ladder overturned away from the wall. Employee #1 fell 8 ft onto a concrete floor. He sustained three fractured ribs and was transported to a local hospital, where he was admitted for treatment.
