Investigation Summary
On June 13, 2011, Employee #1, a maintenance worker, was cleaning a sign that was damaged by fire earlier. While the floor was still wet from extinguishing the small fire, Employee #1 used a metal extension ladder to access the sign. The ladder slipped, and Employee #1 fell to the tile floor below and suffered severe head injuries. Employee #1 was hospitalized and later died. Further investigation recorded that the angle of the ladder was approximately 64 degrees which was too flat and not in compliance with the 4 to 1 (75.5 degrees) requirement of 1910.26(c)(3)(i). No one was holding the ladder for Employee #1. The ladder was not tied off or secured. The floor had been washed and was slippery in violation of 1910.26(c)(3)(iii) .
