Investigation Summary

On October 30, 2012, Employee #1, of Rainbow Valley Design & Construction, Inc., was doing construction work at a single family dwelling. He was installing trim around a ceiling opening of a newly installed skylight fixture. He was working from a 4-foot ladder. He apparently stepped off the ladder, tripped, and hit his head on a wood stove near the work area. He was transported to River Bend Hospital for treatment of a head injury. He died at the hospital as a result of this injury. The investigation concluded that, because Employee #1 was 6 feet tall and working in an area that measured 91 inches from the floor, he could not have been more than one or two steps up the ladder when he fell.
