Incident on Sep 5, 2017 (fatal): Employee falls from 20 foot extension ladder and is killed

At 11:24 a.m. on September 5, 2017, an employee was working on the roof of a residential home that had rain water leakage problems. The employer is a roofing contractor engaged in roof repairs and replacing broken tiles including other roofing accessories. The employee climbed up a "LOUISVILLE" 20 foot long metal extension ladder, whose feet were set on brick and concrete cinder blocks, to check an area under fixed gutters for tracing rain water leakage. As he climbed the ladder, the ladder was placed on a loose/unstable cinder block and bricks and the employee fell from the ladder. He was transported to the hospital where he later died.
