Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:00 p.m. on May 30, 1991, Employee #1 was moving slabs of bacon in a cold storage room. The bacon slabs were suspended on bacon trees, which in turn were suspended from an overhead rail roller system. As a slab of bacon was being pushed around a curve, the roller jammed and the bacon tree disconnected from the overhead roller system and fell to the floor. A hook on the bacon tree that was protruding through the slab of bacon lacerated Employee #1's cornea. He was treated at the hospital for the injury and for potential infection from the pork product.
