Final narrative
On July 8, 2022 at 9:00 a.m., an employee was removing a flow meter located approximately 8.5 feet off the ground on a heated water system. The building was almost complete, so the heating and chilled water systems were operational. The employee was standing on the second rung from the bottom of the 6-foot A-frame ladder that was placed on a 6-foot concrete pad in the locked position. When the meter probe was removed, 180 F water under pressure struck the employee, causing him to fall backward off the ladder and resulting in a fractured ankle and hot water burns to both arms and his back.
