Employee breaks hip/wrist in fall from grating

At approximately 2:00 p.m. on June 22, 1992, Employee #1, of Valley Refrigeration, was working with a crew at a warehouse construction site in the refrigeration building. Apparently he was trying to position rigging used to install a surge drum. The grating Employee #1 was standing on was not tacked down (welded into place) and it slipped out. Employee #1 fell, breaking his left hip and wrist. The employer was cited for not providing a scaffold, ladder, or safe platform. The platform Employee #1 was using was not solid construction as required.
