Narrative

An employee was working from an extension ladder at the edge of a high-ceilinged room. The ladder's feet slipped on the floor and it fell; the employee fell with it and landed on the concrete floor, also striking the ladder itself on the way down. The employee suffered a broken right femur, a broken right elbow, and lacerations to both legs, and was hospitalized.
