Investigation Summary
On August 14, 2009, Employee #1, an electrician, was installing an electrical conduit and wiring in a new alarm system in an existing structure. Employee #1 was working above a false ceiling at the height of about 19 ft. He was standing on a 20-ft extension ladder. At some point, Employee #1 fell from the ladder from over 8 ft through the false ceiling and struck his head against the concrete floor. He sustained concussion. Since Employee #1 was working alone in an isolated area, he was not found for 20 to 45 minutes after the accident. Then, Employee #1 was flown to the University of Utah Medical Center, where he died.
