FACTS

Jamie, an employee at Paint Co., was severely injured when he fell from the top step of 10 foot ladder while painting the Nguyen's roof. Jaime was not using the safety harness provided by Paint Co. or any other restraint system but he was wearing a helmet. Jamie has a concussion and has no memory of the incident. Leading up to the day of accident, Jamie had worked 12-hour shifts for 6 consecutive days.

Paint Co. has a published ladder inspection policy, but there is no evidence that the ladder Jamie was standing on has ever been inspected. They also have a published worksite supervisor policy.

Zara, another painter witnessed Jamie's fall from about five feet away and called 911. Two emergency technicians responded to the call, stabilized Jaime, and took him to the emergency room. A nurse examined Jamie and sent him home with an ice pack and a neck brace. Damien, the crew supervisor, was not present at the time of incident but he returned shortly after. When he arrived he took pictures of the scene.
