Investigation Summary
Employee #1 fractured his skull and face, lacerated his face, and had intracranial hemorrhage when he slipped and fell to the ground after glass sheets fell and broke on top of him. His employer is involved in glass fabrication. Employee #1 and a coworker were loading glass onto a truck designed for glass sheet transportation. On this truck, the sheets are leaned against and secured to inclined walls on each side of the truck. At the time of the accident, Employee #1 was standing on the ground next to the truck and supporting multiple sheets of glass as his coworker was above on the truck placing cardboard sheets between the glass sheets.
