Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on May 17, 2013, Employee #1, was pruning trees. The employee climbed up approximately 12-ft on a ladder from the stump re-growth of a eucalyptus tree that had been previously cut down to the ground to clear the area below power lines. The tree was located on a hillside with a concrete drainage canal at the bottom. When Employee #1 completed pruning the top vegetation, he started descending the ladder. The ladder bent and snapped. The employee fell from the ladder approximately 15-ft, landing in a concrete drainage canal. Employee #1 was transported to Palomar Medical Center, where he was treated for an open wound fracture to his right foot, severing an artery. The employee remained hospitalized.
