Employee killed in fall after epileptic seizure

On December 9, 2003, Employee #1, a carpenter, was working on the second floor of a new house under construction. He told his foreman that he felt dizzy and that he was going down to the first floor. Employee #1 was descending an 8 ft stepladder when he fell approximately 5 ft to the floor, striking his head against a lumber pile. He was transported to the hospital, where he was diagnosed as having suffered an epileptic seizure. Employee #1 was killed. A staircase to reach the second floor had not yet been installed. The stepladder did not extend at least 3 ft above the level of the second floor, and its top rung was being used as a step to reach the second floor. Employees #2 and #3 were also reported as receiving minor injuries that did not require hospitalization, but the cause and nature of their injuries was not explained.
