Abstract: At 11:30 a.m. on January 30, 2019, Employee #1 and a coworker, employed by a construction company, were working at a multiemployer building project. Employee #1 was working from a stepladder that was set parallel to the building on a sidewalk that sloped away from the building. He was holding a piece of plywood so his coworker could secure it to the building's exterior. The stepladder tipped over, and Employee #1 fell. As he hit the ground, he impacted the side rail of the ladder. Emergency services transported Employee #1 to the hospital, where he was admitted and treated for a fractured wrist and a kidney injury that resulted in loss of half of the kidney.
