Apparently, an offshore operations hand was climbing a ladder to retrieve an item from a height. No one is sure what happened as the person was alone when the incident happened, but he was found on the floor, presumably with the ladder next them.
We don’t really consider ladders as a safety risk no matter how many times it’s drilled into us. Please practice safe use of tools, and follow safety guides and common sense.
