Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on January 17, 2011, Employee #1 was working by himself at a jobsite in San Francisco installing a vent for a bathroom fan. Employee #1 stood on the third rung of a six foot fiberglass step ladder, reaching up with both hands to connect the fan housing to the exhaust ductwork, and he lost his balance and fell backwards. Employee #1 hit his head on the concrete footing. Another employee was at lunch during the fall and returned to see Employee #1 on the floor. The other employee called emergency services for an ambulance, which transported Employee #1 to San Francisco General Hospital. Employee #1 suffered abrasions to the neck and back of his head. Employee #1 was hospitalized for two days for observation and X- rays.
