Incident date: 2021-08-20
NAICS industry code: 238210

An employee stood on an extension ladder to guide a metal pipe into a hole/drum. The pipe made contact with a pipe that had been previously placed in the drum and knocked it loose from its friction weld and crimp. The employee then jumped off the ladder rather than be struck by the loose pipe. The employee landed on the floor and sustained a fracture to the left tibia and right heel.
