Abstract: At approximately 9:05 a.m. on October 10, 1995, Employee #1 was working for a paper manufacturer that had about 450 employees. The winder operator for camera machine #9 kicked a set of paper rolls. One roll fell on Employee #1, who was working nearby, injuring his back. He was taken to Pomona Valley Hospital, where he was admitted for treatment. The accident was reported to the DOSH, West Covina District Office on the same day. The employer was cited for a violation of T8CCR 4423(a), for failure to provide an audible alarm for the paper machine to alert other workers in adjacent sections or areas; and for a violation of T8CCR 3203(a)(7)(f), for failure to maintain an effective IIPP (Injury and Illness Prevention Program). The supervisor failed to recognize the hazards to the employees under his direction and control. There was no job safety analysis or safety rules on how workers could perform their jobs more safely.
