Abstract: At approximately 10:45 a.m. on May 10, 2012, an employee was working for the farm labor contractor MB Labor Contracting, Inc. He was a member of a crew of 14 workers who were harvesting and packing butter lettuce at a ranch in San Ardo, CA. He had started work at 6:00 a.m. on the day of the incident. The workers' foreman reported that the employee had completed his exercise routine in the morning at the beginning of the shift. He also took his break at 7:30 a.m. and lunch break at 10:00 a.m. Shortly after his lunch, the employee experienced a seizure while walking to his car. The foreman assisted the employee and provided first aid until the emergency response team arrived. The employee was transported to Mee Memorial Hospital in King City, CA, by ambulance. The employee had only worked for MB Labor Contracting, Inc. for three days, but according to the foreman, he had worked for another farm employer for the last 4 years as a foreman. By the time of the investigation, the owner of MB Labor Contracting, Inc., indicated to the Division that harvesting had already concluded at the Rosenberg Ranch and that the crew had left for the day on the day of the opening conference. In addition, the scene had been changed.
