Investigation Summary
At 4:30 p.m. on July 16, 2018 an employee was delivering mail as a substitute on a park and loop route on flat ground. The employee was working his first day on a route that required much more walking than what he was used to doing on his normal route. The employee experienced weakness, nausea, and severe muscle cramping that became worse after he finished his first day of the new route. After seeking medical treatment, it was determined that the employee sustained heat illness. The employee was hospitalized.
