Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:30 a.m. on October 30, 2001, Employee #1, a receiving clerk was working in the shipping department. He was attempting to conduct routine maintenance work on a cyclone. In order to access a cyclone that had become clogged, Employee #1 and Employee #2, a plate maker and helper to Employee #1, had to utilize a sheet metal style awning as a work surface. After donning a backpack-style gas-powered blower, Employee #1 and Employee #2 proceeded to the awning. Upon accessing the awning, Employee #1 fell 12.5-ft, fracturing his left wrist and right elbow. Employee #1 was hospitalized for four weeks at the USC Medical Center.
