On Tuesday at around 11h00, our Centurion crew responded to an incident at a residential home in Lyttelton where a male patient in his 30s sustained moderate injuries after falling off a ladder while performing routine household maintenance.
The patient was stabilised on scene and provided with pain relief before being transported to hospital in a stable condition by Emergency Medical Solutions.
Thank you to Emergency Medical Solutions and Fidelity ADT for the assistance on scene.
Safety Tip:
When working at heights, always ensure your ladder is positioned on a flat, stable surface. Avoid overreaching, and have someone nearby to assist or spot you. Simple precautions can prevent serious injuries.
