Investigation Summary
On September 13, 2007, Employee #1 was part of a crew that was caulking, painting, and performing other work at an apartment complex. Employee #1 was painting a guardrail that was located on the second level breezeway of a building. The floor of the breezeway was about 9 ft 9 in. above the ground. Employee #1 was using a ladder to paint the outer surfaces of the rail system. The ladder was the top half of a Louisville 24 ft extension ladder, and the portion of the separated extension ladder that he was using did not have slip-resistant feet. He was working from the ladder when the feet apparently slipped out. Employee #1 fell to the ground and sustained several lacerations on his extremities and chest. He was transported to a local hospital, where he died on September 25, 2007, from complications of multiple blunt trauma.
