Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:30 p.m. on December 6, 2013, Employee #1, of Acoustic Evolution, Inc., was installing an entertainment system inside a residence. He was on the third step of a Little Gorilla metal articulating ladder set up in the 6-foot step ladder configuration. Employee #1 leaned his knees against the fourth step, leaned his left hand against an adjacent left wall, and began drilling a hole with the drill he held in his right hand. The ladder tipped over, and Employee #1 fell approximately 4 feet to the floor. Emergency services were called, and the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Department responded. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he was admitted and treated for a fractured right leg and fractured right ankle. This event was reported to Cal/OSHA's San Diego District Office by the employer at 4:40 p.m. on December 6, 2013. The Ranch Santa Fe Fire Department also notified Cal/OSHA. In its subsequent investigation, Cal/OSHA determined that the employer specialized in the design and installation of custom home audio and video systems. Contributing to his fall was that Employee #1 did not keep his body weight centered on the ladder.
