Investigation Summary
At 7:30 a.m. on March 29, 2019, Employee #1, a company owner, was preparing to install a steel pole at a school playground. He was using a retractable tape measure to measure the bolt pattern on the pole while standing on the ground and bent over at the waist. When he stood up he became dizzy and fell forward, causing his arm to land in between the bars of the rebar cage he was measuring. The weight of his body caused his arm to push against the rebar, which caused a dislocation of his elbow. The injured owner was transported to the hospital, where he was treated and released. It was determined that he had been taking new blood pressure medication, which caused his dizziness.
