Abstract: On May 09, 2013, Employee #1 of Lockheed Martin injured his left ankle. Employee #1, an expeditor, came to Building 651 to retrieve 4 to 5 (0.20) stainless metal sheets on an A-Frame cart (B651) to return them to Building 601. Employee #1 and Employee #2 were supporting a 48 inch height stainless metal sheet on the A frame cart with their hands during transportation. When they were approaching the west Building 651 exit door, one of the smaller sheets, three feet in height by six feet long, was displaced from the A frame cart. When the smaller sheet edge was displaced from the cart, it struck Employee #1 on the left foot. Employee #2 noticed that the edge of the sheet had cut Employee #1 and immediately provided first aid. Employee #3, the supervisor, came to their assistance and called 911. Employee #1 was taken to Palmdale Regional Hospital where the injury was diagnosed as a torn Achilles tendon. Employee #1 was in the hospital for one day.
