Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:00 p.m. on December 27, 1990, Employee #1 was at a bronze plaque manufacturer picking up six approximately 35 lb packages. He normally would have backed his delivery truck up the ramp to the roll-up door but because of the Santa Ana winds, the door was closed and the boxes were on a cart. Employee #1 rolled the cart down the ramp toward his truck. The cart would not go over the asphalt bump at the end of the ramp and as he lifted the cart, it started to fall toward him. He was struck on the forehead by a falling box and the ends of his fingers were amputated by the cart. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
