On September 12, 2024, an employee was standing halfway up an 8-foot ladder while installing a 14-inch spiral duct through a wall. While being pulled from the wall, the duct gave way and knocked into the ladder, causing the employee to fall to the floor and be impacted by a hammer located in his toolbelt.
