Investigation Summary
On July 23, 2007, Employee #1 and a coworker were working on the plumbing system in one of the smaller side stores at a shopping strip mall. They discovered a leaking coupling after pressure testing the system. Employee #1 was between 7 ft and 9 ft up on a 12 ft stepladder, sawing and chiseling off the old coupling in preparation for installing a new one. While he was working, he sent the coworker to the van to get another coupling. The coworker had exited the building when he heard a crashing noise. He returned to find Employee #1 lying on the ground beside the ladder, bleeding fromhis head. He died of injuries sustained in the fall. There were no direct witnesses to the accident.
