Incident on May 4, 2017: Employee falls approximately 20 feet from a ladder and is ho
At 2:30 p.m. on May 4, 2017, an employee was working on a new apartment construction site performing siding work. The employee was working on the corner of a 4 story apartment building. He saw a piece of siding that was not properly installed and wanted to fix it. He grabbed an extension ladder to access the siding. The employee extended the ladder in order to reach the piece which was approximately 23 feet from the ground. The employee climbed the ladder with a nail gun in one hand and started to push the piece of siding in so it was flush with the piece above. While doing so, the ladder shifted causing the employee to fall approximately 23 feet to the muddy ground below. The employee was hospitalized.
