Incident on Sep 11, 2018: Employee falls from ladder and fractures leg

At 11:45 a.m. on September 11, 2018, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was engaged in the construction of a 700 square foot addition to a residence. The employee was working from a 6-foot A-frame ladder, Werner Model Number 6206, and removing the stucco wall that covered up an existing rough window frame. As he stood on the ladder's second rung and used a wire cutter to cut loose the last section of stucco wall, which measured 18 inches by 18 inches, the piece swung like a pendulum toward the worker. It struck the base of the ladder and caused the ladder to tip one way while the employee fell in the opposite direction. The employee's right leg passed over and under the rungs and was fractured. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital, where he was admitted for treatment of an open compound fracture of the leg.
