Narrative

On August 31, 2016, at approximately 9:55am, an employee was injured after falling from a 6 foot fiberglass step ladder. Using a sawzall, the employee was cutting a 2 inch pipe, approximately 4-5 feet long, from a wall. While standing on the second rung from the bottom of the ladder, the pipe broke off and struck the employee across the back knocking him to the concrete floor below. The employee was hospitalized for a head injury, a fractured right eye socket, and two broken ribs.
