Abstract: On December 18, 2010, an employer was installing various types of floor coverings including carpets. Employee #1 and a coworker were unloading big rolls of carpet from a stake bed truck. The carpet rolls were wrapped in plastic, which was wet due to light rain. They were on top of the double-stacked rolls and tried to roll a carpet roll off the truck. Employee #1 slipped on the wet plastic covering the carpet and fell about 5 ft. down to the bed of the truck. Employee #1 landed on his left leg and fractured the tibia on that leg. Surgery was performed and he was hospitalized for four days. Employee #1 was not a contract employee. This incident was reported to DOSH on December 20, 2010.
