## Narrative

Two employees were on a job site inspecting the area above the roof to see where the next storefront frame was going to be installed. They set up a ladder and the first employee began climbing while the second employee held the ladder for him. 

The ladder was sitting on a deck made of composite material that was damp from rain. The first employee was over 4 feet off the ground when the bottom of the ladder began to slip away from the building. He jumped as the ladder began to fall; when he landed, he suffered a compound fracture in his right lower leg and dislocated his right shoulder. He was hospitalized.
