Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:30 a.m. on November 27, 2000, a plumbing helper was removing a mirror from the wall in the second floor bathroom at a private residence to prepare the room for remodeling. The employee lifted the mirror off the track on the left-hand side and when he reached up for the right side, the left side of the mirror slipped from his hand and hit the bathroom counter. The right side of the mirror then bounced off the track and hit the bathroom counter, which was approximately 3.5 feet high. The right corner of the mirror broke and a 6-inch by 6-inch section cut his right wrist. The mirror was approximately 3.5 to 4 feet wide and 6 to 7 feet high. The employee was wearing safety glasses, kneepads, safety helmet, a back brace and steel-toe shoes. The owner's wife took the employee to the Beverly Medical Center and he was later transferred to Los Angeles County USC Medical Center, where he was hospitalized for three days. He suffered a lacerated right wrist with flexor tendon involvement and injury to the nerve.
