Investigation Summary
Employee #1, of Home Depot, was working in the garden department. The store was in a canyon near the ocean and, at times, got sudden gusts of wind. Employee #1 was helping a customer in an aisle. Above him was a stack of plastic chairs that had been bound in plastic wrap. They were not secured to the pallet on which they were sitting. A sudden violent gust of wind blew the chairs off the pallet, and they fell on Employee #1 and the customer. Employee #1 sustained a fractured ankle and required hospitalization for two days.
