Incident on May 18, 2018: Employee is injured in fall from ladder
At 11:00 a.m. on May 18, 2018, an engineer was preparing to install solar panels on an inclined test rack used for testing and certification. The employee installed the shingles while standing on an unsecured and opened A-frame ladder approximately 5 feet from the ground. The ladder slid, causing the employee to hit his knee as he and the ladder fell to the ground. This resulted in the employee tearing the patella tendon in his right knee.
