Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on January 4, 2017, an employee, working as a Test Engineer, sat down at the engineering test station and attempted to enter a password onto a test station computer. A coworker saw the employee slowly turned his head to the left and looked upward towards the ceiling and proceeded to roll off of the lab chair he was using. In the process of falling, he bumped into a rolling composite cart with his body causing the cart to roll away and slowing his fall. The employee landed on the lab floor flat on his back and struck his head on the floor. The coworker came to help the employee and saw blood coming from his right ear and a lesser amount of blood coming from his mouth. The coworker called emergency medical services and alerted the facilities manager. The emergency personnel arrived and the employee was taken to hospital and died on January 15, 2017 at approximately 7:35 a.m.
