Miami, FL (April 10, 2025) – A workplace injury occurred earlier today at a local restaurant in Miami, Florida, when a worker fell from a ladder while attempting to retrieve supplies from a high storage shelf. The incident took place around 10:30 a.m. and left the worker with serious injuries.
According to initial reports, the worker was not using proper fall protection equipment and was working alone when the fall occurred. Emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly after the incident and transported the worker to a nearby hospital. The worker sustained a broken arm, as well as head and back injuries.
The restaurant management has initiated an internal investigation into the accident to assess whether proper safety protocols were followed, including whether the worker had received adequate training in ladder safety.
