Employee killed from fall

On October 28, 2002, Employee #1 was attempting to hold a channel iron on top of a concrete block wall, which required him to stand on a ladder. Employee #1 was standing on the sixth rung of an 8-foot ladder, a height of 5.75 feet. For some reason, the channel iron slipped, striking the ladder that Employee #1 was standing on. The ladder became unstable, causing Employee #1 to fall and strike his head against the concrete floor. Employee #1 was hospitalized and pronounced dead due to injuries sustained.
