Investigation Summary
On February 6, 2008, Employee #1 was assigned to a wrapping station located in a warehouse to wrap two pallets of horse feed. The pallets had 4 barrels, each weighing 113 kilos (250 lbs.). The wrapping station consisted of a plastic wrap (like Saran wrap) dispenser adjacent to a wall, and a rotator. The rotator was a spinning table mounted on the floor. The pallet of horse feed, with its four barrels, was placed on the rotator. The rotator was activated to wrap the pallet. The procedure was to place two pallets at a time, one on top of the other, and then wrap them together. As Employee #1 began wrapping the two pallets, a drum from the top pallet fell and struck him in the chest. He fell and hit the ground. Employee #1 was taken to the Davis Medical Center, where he was hospitalized for three days. He was treated for fractured ribs, a concussion, and back injuries.
