An employee was standing on an A-frame ladder approximately 3 to 4 feet off the ground, attempting to install a porch ceiling soffit, when the ladder and employee tumbled to the ground. The employee's leg was pinned in a rung of the ladder, fracturing the tibia and fibula. The ladder was placed on loose fill rock at the time of the incident.
