Abstract

156 injuries by a stepladder are reported. In the whole of plunge injuries occurred with a stepladder we found 12%. The painters are involved in 34.6% in this kind of accident, apprentices in 5.8%. Most people were aged from 20-24 and the lower limb was more often injured than the upper limb. Fractures were present in 24% and we registered 48.8 days in which workers were unfit to work. Most patients (95.2%) obtained total rehabilitation.
