Investigation Summary
At about 3:00 p.m. on January 30, 2006, Employee #1 and two coworkers were trimming trees and bushes at a residence. At the time of the incident, Employee #1 was trimming a tree from the third step of a 14-ft ladder in the back yard of the house, while the coworkers were collecting the fallen trimmed branches. Employee #1 lost his balance, slipped and fell from the ladder about 10 ft to the ground. He sustained a broken femur and was admitted to a hospital, where he remained for three days. The fall was most likely caused by the slippery surface of the ladder rung surface, as it had been raining during the day of the incident.
