Investigation Summary
On September 30, 2011, Employee #1, a landscaper/crew leader, was working for his employer of 4.5 months, a landscaping maintenance business. Employee #1 was trimming bushes using a gas-powered hedge trimmer "in the lawn of a housing track". He was trimming a bush from the third step of a 6-foot step ladder. Palm frond debris was lying on the lawn, and Employee #1 set up the step ladder so that its front legs were on the frond debris. As he was trimming the bush, the front legs of the step ladder inadvertently lifted up. At that time, Employee #1 jumped and fell backward. Employee #1 sustained a fractured back, and he was hospitalized. The employer notified the Division about the serious injury at 3:42 p.m. on October 3, 2011.
