Incident on Jan 2, 2020: Employee fractures spine in fall from ladder
At 9:00 a.m. on January 2, 2020, an employee was working from an extension ladder caulking around exterior light fixtures. The employee had the left rung of the ladder adjacent to the light and was reaching to caulk. He stated that the light fixture was not installed correctly and gave way when he put his hand on it. He fell to a concrete surface below. Over-reaching and lack of training in ladder safety contributed to the accident. The violations were not accident-related as the definition for accident-related was not met. The employee suffered a compression fracture to the spine and was hospitalized.
