Employee fractures leg in fall when ladder slips out

At approximately 3:30 p.m. on January 16, 2008, Employee #1 was using a 12 ft extension ladder to attach wall sheeting at the site of an apartment complex under construction. The ladder had been extended to approximately 9 ft and had been secured to the wall with nails along the top rung. In preparation for moving the ladder to a new location, Employee #1 removed the bracing nails. He was halfway down the ladder when it slipped out and he fell, with the ladder, to the ground. Employee #1 suffered a fractured right fibula and tibia, for which he was hospitalized.
