Abstract: At 9:30 a.m. on February 7, 2014, Employee #1, employed by a construction contractor, was using a ladder to check a rain gutter. He fell from the ladder, a fall height of approximately 18 feet. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he was admitted and treated for a fractured left arm, head injuries, and a ruptured spleen. The employer reported this event to Cal/OSHA at 12:15 p.m. on January 7, 2014. The subsequent investigation determined that Employee #1 was a carpenter helper. He was performing normal work duties when he fell from the ladder.
