Investigation Summary
On October 3, 2011, Employee #1 was working for his employer, a Rebar installer, at a jobsite in Los Angelis, CA. Employee #1 was descending a job-made ladder that was placed inside an excavation, and the top of the ladder began to move. Employee #1 turned around to rebalance himself, and he decided to quickly walk down the ladder, before it fell down. As he was walking down the ladder, his foot got caught in the space between the rungs, located at the bottom of the ladder. As a result, Employee sustained multiple fractures to his left ankle, and he was hospitalized. Contributing causal factors were that the ladder was not secured to prevent movement and that the ladder did not have three points of contact during Employee #1's descent. It was determined from the accident report that the incident occurred at 10:00 a.m.
