Investigation Summary
At about 10:00 p.m. on May 4, 1993, Employee #1 was putting a mop bucket with the mop standing in it into the janitor room. The mop handle fell over, striking a used 4 foot fluorescent light bulb that was standing upright against the wall. The fluorescent tube fell over and Employee #1 tried to catch it but missed. When the tube hit the floor it broke and exploded, sending glass in Employee #1's left eye. Nobody knew why the tube was there; used bulbs are usually thrown in the trash. No serious injury resulted from the accident.
