Narrative

An employee was placing a ladder against the main building to tie it off. As he climbed the ladder, he reached out with his right hand and grabbed the energized metal gutter on a drive-under canopy next to the main building and was shocked. This caused him to fall off the ladder, dislocating/breaking his right shoulder, and cracking his right shoulder blade and vertebrae. He was hospitalized.
