Employee injured after falling from ladder

On March 22, 2004, an employee was descending a Werner 32-foot aluminum extension ladder, type 1A, from the eave edge of a two-story house, the ladder retracted, causing him to fall. The employee fractured his skull and eight ribs. The primary cause of the accident appears to be failure to ensure the locking device was secured when the ladder was positioned at the side of the house.
