Employee Is Injured in Fall from Ladder

On August 23, 2010, Employee #1 was cutting down a copper pipe, which was located above him, while standing on an 8-foot stepladder. Employee #1 fell and hit his head. It resulted in brain trauma, and he was hospitalized. The stepladder was not used according to its design because it was in the "closed" position. Employee #1 did not remember anything, and no one witnessed the incident. Therefore, the distance that Employee #1 fell was not known.
