Investigation Summary
On July 28, 2011, Employee #1 was scraping paint on the outside of a two story single family house. Employee #1 was working from a 28 ft aluminum extension ladder which was extended to approximately 28 ft above ground, with the feet on a ground-level deck that was constructed of a plastic composite called Trex. As Employee #1 was scrapping the paint, he positioned at about 18 ft on the ladder, when the ladder slipped and fell. The ladder fell on to a shrub tree, breaking several branches. Employee landed on the broken and jagged branches of the shrub. One of the jagged branches impaled Employee #1. Employee was hospitalized and died as a result of the accident.
