Incident on Aug 9, 2018: Employee fractures vertebrae in fall from extension ladder

At 2:00 p.m. on August 9, 2018, Employee #1, a Laborer, was removing hangers from a beam within a single family home remodel in San Diego, CA.

Employee #1 was transported by Emergency Medical Service (EMS) to the hospital and suffered a fractured vertebrae. Afterwards, he was then hospitalized for more than 24 hours.
