Incident on Apr 10, 2017: Employee falls from stepladder and incurs back fracture
At 5:00 p.m. on April 10, 2017, Employee #1, employed by a construction subcontractor at a multiemployer project for a multifamily residential building, was climbing an 8-foot stepladder. He was using both hands in an attempt to take a measurement and thus did not have a stable three-point contact as he climbed. Employee #1 lost his balance. He leaned over the ladder, which slid out from under him. Employee #1 fell, a fall height of 6 feet. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for a fracture to his back.
