Investigation Summary
On January 13, 2004, a crew was framing on a residential construction site. One employee was installing the tray ceiling support braces over his head while working from a 6-foot Werner fiberglass stepladder. The ladder was missing one of the slip-resistant feet, had cracks in the side rails and one of the support brackets was loose. He was not working from the tray top or the top step of the ladder. The ladder slipped and the employee fell from the ladder and he struck his head on the concrete floor. He was taken to the local hospital where it was determined that his blood alcohol level was 0.34. He died the next day and the medical examiner listed the cause of death as subdural hematoma with brain swelling.
