Abstract: At 11:00 a.m. on September 13, 2019, an employee was counting boxes and wrapping skids in a loading area. The employee was placed at the facility through a temporary employment agency. The loading bay door was left open for the breeze to come through which is a common practice at the facility. The employee walked through the bay door and fell 5 feet off the loading dock because he thought that there was a ramp at the end. Although the floor switches from concrete to non slip metal for approximately 8 to 10 feet before the bay door, there are no other markings present. The employee sustained fractures to the hips, femur, and lower legs and was hospitalized.
