Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:30 p.m. on February 9, 1998, Employee #1, an electrician for H. A. Bowen Electric, was climbing up and down ladders, drilling holes for wiring. He was descending a ladder in a location where there was an accumulation of water on the floor due to a storm. Employee #1 could not see where to place his foot and he did not know of a bolt protruding from the floor. When he stepped off the ladder, his right foot landed on the unguarded bolt. Employee #1 lost his balance and fell, twisting his lower right back and hip area. There were no witnesses to the accident. Prior to his injury, Employee #1 had been performing this same kind of work for many years. The employer has a good and effective Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP).
