Description:

On August 9, 2023, a 52-year-old carpenter (victim) and his co-worker were obtaining measurements in preparation for a plywood installation project in a restaurant being constructed. In the process, the victim's ladder overturned and he fell and struck the concrete surface below. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS - Key contributing factors identified in this investigation include: Unrecognized job hazards; Safety training; Reaching outside ladder side rails. RECOMMENDATIONS - Kentucky investigators concluded that, to help prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1) Implement a job hazard analysis process, 2) When available, employees should utilize equipment that best reduces the risk of injury, 3) Develop, implement, and enforce a formal health and safety program that includes ladder safety.
