Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:59 a.m. on August 10, 2000, Employee #1 was washing the outdoor logo of a K-Mart store in Los Angeles, CA. He was using an elevated, wheeled platform while his coworker/brother was on the pavement. For some reason, Employee #1's brother pushed the platform, but because the wheels were locked, the platform tipped over and Employee #1 fell to the ground. He sustained multiple contusions and was transported to Cedars Sinai Medical Center, where he was treated and released later that same day. Neither Employee #1 nor his coworker/brother were inadequately trained in the proper use of and safe practices regarding the wheeled platform, particularly the danger inherent in riding a rolling platform as it is being moved.
