Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:15 p.m. on July 11, 2002, Employee #1 and other coworkers were waiting outside of the designated "Safety Zone" for a quarry production blast. The employees were between a metal storage rack and parked pick-up truck, next to a portable trailer. At this point it was approximately 1,100 ft from the face of the shot. The expected "Safety Zone" was approximately 800 ft. No equipment was involved in this accident. The flying rock from the blast flew farther than expected. Employee #1 was struck by some flying rock and sustained contusions to the back, a fractured rig, a collapsed lung, and later, it was necessary to remove both kidneys. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
