2016 Video of the Week #46 (Worker fall caught on CCTV)

WARNING!  Viewer Discretion is advised.  This week’s video shows a worker climbing a fixed ladder while holding onto blueprints (NO 3-point contact with ladder).  As he climbs he falls from the ladder to a platform.  The platform has a top rail, but does NOT have a mid-rail, allowing the worker to fall from the platform to the ground (~20′).  We can see the worker land in a bad way and see his bodily response to the fall and yet co-workers run to his aid and sit him up as if he has no spinal injuries!
