Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:30 a.m. on June 16, 2003, an employee was trouble-shooting a fire alarm in an HVAC system. He had climbed up a ladder that was approximately 12 feet high to gain access to a false ceiling. While working, he fell through the ceiling to the ground. A coworker was nearby at the time, but was not injured. The employee was taken to Antelope Valley Hospital, and then transferred to Holy Cross Hospital where he stayed for 25 days with fractures to his left tibia and fibula.
