Employee Dies From Head Injury Incurred During Fall

At 1:40 p.m. on September 26, 2022, an employee was working in an engineering test laboratory as a technician. The employee was performing a lab test using a hydrometer to determine soil particular size. At some point between 1:30 and 2:30 p.m., the employee fell and struck the back of his head against the linoleum covered concrete floor. The employee was working alone and the incident was unwitnessed, although a coworker was working in the next room. The employee was found face down in a pool of blood with a head laceration by a coworker who called emergency services. The employee was transported to the emergency room, where he died from brain injury caused by the fall.
