Abstract: On October 8, 2009, Employee #1, a warehouseman with Nor-Cal Produce, Inc., was working in their West Sacramento facility and had driven his pallet jack into a refrigerated box to assemble a load. Employee #1 parked the pallet jack on one side of an aisle lined with metal racks filled with produce. Employee #1 walked across the aisle to get a box of oranges and was walking back to his pallet jack when he slipped and fell to the floor. The Employers investigation indicated that Employee #1 might have stepped on a green bean lying on the floor. The West Sacramento Fire Department responded and transported Employee #1 to Sutter General Hospital in Sacramento. Employee #1 underwent various tests and while no fractures were found or surgery performed, he complained of back pain and weakness in his legs. Employee #1 was released from the hospital on October 9, 2009 around 5 p.m.
