Incident on Dec 26, 2022 (fatal): Employee is killed in fall from ladder
At 1:46 p.m. on December 26, 2022, an employee was asked to get the center measurement for a main center support beam that was to be placed for the two car garage. The general contractor turned away to go get a forklift and when he came back he saw the employee lying face up on the concrete slab foundation in a pool of blood and unresponsive. The 8-foot fiberglass stepladder was toppled over near the employee's feet and the metal spreader/locking arms were slightly folded up and not locked. The employee died due to a fractured skull.
